Beautifull Plains of the best
discription of Grass - from East
to West I think there is more than
80 miles certain - and from this
to the River or Bay is 50 miles all
Plains and 30 miles due North all
Plains - with here and there a few
Gentle rising Hills and Valleys
of the best discription - we have
just seen the Smoke of the Natives
in an Easterly direction, and going
to take that course - we kept in
the direction for the smoke about
16 miles over fine Plains and crossed
a fresh water creek - just at a
junction of another running from
n- n- E we then crossed Plains
again and came into a small forest
about 2 miles through some Gum
and Box, that would either do
for splitting or sawing, with she oak
this forest was thickly covered with
excellent Grass, we caught one of the
largest Kangaroo’s I ever saw more
