Tuesday 26th. Novr. 1811.
I went after Breakfast to inspect the different Farms in the District of New Town -- 2 miles from Hobart Town. ---Visited the Government Farm -- a very beautiful spot -- called on Capt. Murray at his Farm -- and also on Mr. A. Whitehead, a respectable Farmer. ---I rode to a very pretty Point of Land on the west side of Newtown Bay, which commands a most extensive fine prospect down the River to Hobart Town -- and which I have named "Macquarie Point". ---I returned home to Dinner and we had our usual Party, with the addition of Messrs. Fosbrook, Humphry, and Loane to dine with us. Recd. an Address from the Inhabitants of this Settlement this afternoon.
