Got up at 8.30. Still a frightful wind. Did chores & wrote a little. Orr inspected post office. In afternoon Andy & Mrs Baxter came in car & took us to Longfield via Stillwater where I went up & looked at kurrajong tree & had mulberries off tree (struck by lightning). Noted grass along wire fence like mat. Old places changed by killing timber. Arrived at Longfield found it unchanged. Bert & I went over to look at old school ground & found old tree blown out - got some wattle gum - noted blue burrs. In evening Mr & Mrs Andy, family, Mrs Cropley & Miss Tom all had yarn. Cold & clear & windy
