Sunday 6 November, 1915
The mate of the sheep killed came back last night & my Batman gave chase, he is a boundary rider from the YINKO & his imitation bleat as he scaled the hills in the dark was good – but no answering BAA was heard but perhaps some other night – We hope so – Our Medical Officer has discovered a new way to kill the flies in the LATRINE viz:- dropping a "Bomb"!!! but the cold will fix them I think, I pity the Italians with their Paper Yokes cut to slip over head & wear under Tunic to keep out the cold.
