Exceptionally heavy frost had came on top of yesterdays snow & it is now very cold & all lakes & water in the neighbourhood is frozen. At night a party of us went up to see the Anzac Concert Party at Steenwerck and it was excellent being only excelled by I think the N.Z. Kiwis. We knew a couple of them as old mates at Liverpool viz young J Gibb & Sawyer. Harold Williams is joining them again next week.

The scenery is marvellous as everything is covered by a record frost & one would swear that it snow. The peculiar effect of all the large trees carrying this frost all over them was novel.
Thursday 20th
