Theirsubjects range from a description ofa Quensland election to a report ofhis camping and cruising holidays;from complaints of severe "social"seasons and other "abominations"to eating oysters or making ice;from caustic comments on some ofhis associates to an essay on why hedid not wish to marry; fromimpatience with the "eccentricities"of Governor Bowen to heartyadmiration for Lady Bowen.
