Land could be - the whole
appeared like land layed
out in farms for some
100 years back and every
tree transplanted - I was
never so astonished in my
Life - when on some of
these Hills I could see on
the opposite side where I
intend to visit tomorrow
large and extensive plains
the Bay we came up to day
varied from 6 fathoms to
2 ½ across the Bay - we Anchor
Anchored in 3 fathoms water -
and to my joy and dilight
we saw at some distance
the Natives fire I intend
to go off to them early in
the morning - and get if
possible on a friendly
footing with them, in order
to purchase Land &c from
them - from what I have seen I
am quite delighted with
Port Phillip
we walked about 20 miles
