WHILE THE BILLY BOILS ABOVE is a picnic party who have made a lucky break from crowded city streets, clanging trams and hustling throngs. The party are fully equipped for an al fresco lunch, even to the tablecloth and a bottle of milk, while in the foreground the old black billy takes prominent place. That age-worm cabbage tree, whose gnarled stem has bent to many a storm, makes music with its fronds, more sweet than any radio. These picnickers are camped on the shores of Lake Hawea, whose rippling waters play hide and seek with shafts of southern sunshine. In the distance can be seen the jagged peaks of Pembroke.
