After all 4 T.F Baths ??? 1 Regular Bn??? Q Batley??? 2 M.I. baths??? and sunday mule corps and motor Transport Companies make a fair show.
The camp is in a desolate sort of spot several times worse than Salisbury Plain. We are on 2 blades of grass, a shinghly?? sort of sea shore without the sea, with the same sort of country all round till one meets the hills. The hills are all rock and ther is one batch ??? only about 2 miles from us. we shall probably know them too well before long. My candid opinion of Nowekera??? is that it is a _____ hole and thesooner I leave it the happier I shall be. It's all very to be "on the Initre"??? but there are limits & Pundi???is so much more comfortable.
Wednesday March 14th
We had a holiday today, so I spent the morning with the Section cleaning saddles. Slept in the afternoon but??about 4 went for a nde??? with Beach at half past. We went straight out to the hills along the hohal??? Road. It was quite nice on the top. much cooler. It is unpleasantly hot down below. The hills are unattractive. Too rocky to be comfortable I am not keen to scramble about them as I suppose we shall have to do. So far I don't quite see where I come in with my guns in this part of the world. All in good time I expect!
