Tuesday 3^d. Dec^r.---
The last part of our Baggage having been sent off at 4 a.m. we set out ourselves (M^rs. M. myself and Cap^t. Antill on Horse back, and Lieu^t. Maclaine & Campbell & M^r. Meehan on foot) from Stanfield's Farm at Half past 8 o'clock in the morning, after taking leave of our friend and Conductor, Lieu^t. Gunning, previously Breakfasting at Stanfield's.---

Crossed a small Rivulet, that falls into Herdsman's Cove within about a mile of Stanfield's House, travelled over Bagdad Plains -- and along Bagdad River to the foot of Constitution Hill -- 12 miles from Stanfield's; ascended the Hill -- about 1 mile to the other side in ascending and descending into Glen-forsa (now named so by me), which continues for 3 miles to the Green Ponds. ---From thence travelled through a broad, fertile, and beautiful Valley, skirted by very fine Hills & Eminences for 5 miles; which I have named Elizabeth Valley (in honour of M^rs. M.); halted at the extremity of this Valley, and at the entrance of Serpentine Valley, close to a Pond of good fresh water, with a rich extensive meadow in our front. ---Here we arrived at ^1/2 past 6 p.m. and took up our Ground for the Night, dis^ce. 21 miles from Stanfield's House. ---I have named this Ground "Gov^r. Macquarie's Resting Place". ---We have travelled through a very fine, fertile, and beautifully Picturesque Country all this day and were much gratified.
