Field notes Transcription of notebook 85 of K. H. L. Key's field notebook collection in the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC). The collector was Lew Chinnick, on a large trip from Adelaide in South Australia to Elliot in the Northern Territory, across to Halls Creek and Derby, then Wyndham, in Western Australia, up to Katherine, Northern Territory, then across to Longreach, Queensland.
Occurrence remarks Heavy stoney soil plains Heavy stoney soil plains bearing scattered trees (golf ball) with Astrebla dominant. Some Flinders grass on areas of heavier stone and Chloris & Stipa clumps scattered throughout. MK assuming that they mistakenly called 'Mudtank Bore' bore No. 48 and then the turn off at 19120 is to Camfield HS and mileage works out to bore No. 47. Bore no 48 doesn't have a track to bore no. 47 that can be done in 13 miles
