Excerpt from The Victorian Naturalist, Vol. 6: The Journal and Magazine of the Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria, May-June, 1889 Sunday, 30th december - W6 leave the hotel before seven am, the coach being more than comfortably filled with our five selves and the great amount of baggage which we have thought it necessary to take, though it is only fair to add that this includes all our stores and collecting material. The woods are alive with bell - birds as we mount the hill leading up to Road knight's Hotel. The view from this is very fine: to the south it looks over the sea, right beneath it is the entrance and away to the west is the narrow strait of water leading to the lakes, with the hilly country inland, and between it and the sea a narrow strip of sand - for miles the coast line can be traced as it passes along the dreary Ninety - mile Beach. We are fortunate in seeing two schooners tugged out over the bar it must be weary work waiting inside, or beating about outside, until the worthy Captain Quayle, who acts as pilot at the entrance, gives the signal that the water on the bar is deep enough.
