Tropic of Capricorn

---

Wed. June 7. Lost momentum yesterday with cold. Laundry and long sit in pub reading and dinner. Better today. Went to 'Save our Whales' demo at harbour. Twenty boats, 500 people, media. Out front before spruik. Sold two small flags to boat owners, one from Mooloolaba passing through going north. Older crowd. Stickers good. Drove to 1770. Lots of space here. Distant mountain, sweeping bay and a pub with no loo. Public ones in park opposite. Guy said that's 1770 which seemed to mean something. Keep you posted.
Thur. 8 June. Warmer night, light rain. Spruiked at 1770 headland Joseph Banks Park. Two real estate guys got a large flag each!!! Drove to Rockhampton. Newspaper interview and pic. Story Saturday - editor willing. River with yachts.
Fri. 9. Awoke Yeppoon heights. Spruiked very well. Girls from local newspaper ran across. Told them Bulletin to do it. Had contratemp with big handsome guy who threatened to hit me after I told him we all had to think like him was absurd. Trolled marina. Climbed Double Head track. Views. Windy. Islands. Shallow beaches. Warm weather. Crows copulating in a distant tree, then the rest of the flock rose from the trees. Pineapple-sized ant nests made by bending leaves togeher and filling gaps with white.
