Snow in Lamington Park?

Location of this is not positive. They spent a few days up in the hills east of Brisbane.

Sydney

Albatross Banding

While in Sydney, they were invited out into the harbour to help catch and band these great birds.

One Last Visit

Just before boarding his ship, Bob made a visit to the Sydney Zoo.

Left Behind

Bristol stayed on and worked at the university doing research until a suitable crossing could be arranged for the Grizzly Torque.

Bristol especially enjoyed banding the rare 'Fairy Penguins'

On a science trip to Adelaide they crossed the Snowy Mountains.

Although this looks like Bondi Beach, it seems unlikely as today it is heavily developed. The Rover Boys shied away from crowds such as these.

Together

Neither man felt any loss at their parting in Australia. A bond had been forged which would last the rest of their lives.
