Sunday 24th. Novr. 1811.
Mrs. Macquarie and myself attended Divine Service; which was performed at 11 o'clock this day at the Government House by the Revd. Mr. Knopwood, the Chaplain of this settlement, who gave us a most excellent discourse. After Divine Service I took a walk through the town with the view to lay down and frame a regular plan of it, none having ever been yet laid down for it.---
In the afternoon I sent off a dispatch to Major Gordon, Comdt. of Port Dalrymple, to announce my arrival here, and my intention to set out for that Settlement overland on Monday the 2d of next month.---
The Revd. Mr. Knopwood & the officers of the Detachments of 73d. & Royal Marines (including Lt. Breedon of the latter) dined with us today.---
