Got up at 5 o'clock this morning, the weather fair -- but cold. ---Breakfasted at 6 -- and sent off the baggage at 7. ---The Revd. Mr. Cartwright and Mr. Throsby took their leave of us after breakfast and set out for their respective homes. ---Our Party set out in a few minutes after the Baggage -- and turned off the Road to the Left along-the Wingeecarabee River for 3 or 4 miles to see Mr. Oxley's Cattle. ---We struck afterwards into the Road at the bottom of the Mittagong Range, from the summit of which we had a fine view of all the adjacent Country. ---Gave the name of "Barnard Range" to a remarkable Head Land South East of us 30 miles -- and which connects with Cookbundoon Range, in honor of Mr. Barnard of the Colonial Office.---
Arrived at our Ground at Bargo, 24 1/2 miles from our last stage at 3 o'clock and Pitched our Camp at a Chain of Ponds 4 miles short of the Bargo River. ---We dined at 6 -- and after Dinner I drank a Silent Bumper in Honor of the Day, being this day 13 years married to my dearest Elizabeth.---
We drank Tea and retired to Rest at the usual early Hours.---
