Sunday 30. April !
We halt all this day at Cox's River on account of keeping the Day holy. -- After Breakfast I had all our Servants and Followers regularly Paraded and Mustered, and had Divine Service performed -- the whole of our Party being present. -- As Divine Service had been performed, the Gentlemen of our Party accompanied me on a Ride to Mount Blaxland, leaving Mrs. Macquarie in Camp. -- Mount Blaxland is distant 32 miles West from Cox's River through a fine open hilly Country of good Pasture. We ascended to the Top of the Mountain from whence we had a fine prospect of the adjacent Hilly Country and of Wentworth's and Lawson's Sugar Loaves in the immediate vicinity of Mount Blaxland. -- We returned to Camp by 1/2 past 3, dined at 5 o'clock, and retired early to rest.---
