Thursday 15th.
--- I sent off our Servants and Baggage this morning for the Cow Pastures, in two Carts, escorted by Serjt. Whalan of the Body Guard. ---

At 12 o'clock I set out on an Excursion to visit some of the Farms which I had not yet seen in the Field of Mars lying on the East side of Parramatta River; being accompanied by Mr. Bent, Secretary Campbell, Dr. Redfern, Capt. Antill, and Mr. Meehan. -- The principal Farms we visited were those of Macdonald, Ramsay, and Archer and Connor, all prettily situated; the three former on the Banks of the River and the latter retired within the Forest. -- We all returned home to Dinner after a ride of about 12 miles in this day's Excursion. ---
