Saturday 22 Decr. !
Sent off the Baggage early this morning by the short Route to the Fish-River, through Bathurst, Macquarie, and O'Connell-Plains, intending to proceed ourselves by the Campbell River thither.
At 6 a.m. Set out from [the] Town of Bathurst, leaving Mr. Meehan to measure Lands there.---
I stopped at the White Rock to inspect the Government stock of Breeding Cows there, and was much gratified to find them all in such excellent condition. ---We then pursued our Journey to the Campbell River, and to Lieut. Lawson's Establishment close to the Banks of that River on Mitchell's Plains. ---Here we inspected his stock of Horses, Horned Cattle, & Sheep, all which are excellent of their respective kinds. ---Lieut. Lawson accompanied us from his Establishment for a few miles on our way, and then returned to his station at Bathurst.---
We stopped to Breakfast at Sidmouth Valley, and having rested our men and cattle there for two Hours, we continued our Journey to the "Fish River", where we arrived between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon and encamped there for the Night; the distance from Bathurst being 28 miles. ---This day was exceedingly Hot. The Judge advocate drove me in my Tandam [sic] the whole of this day's Journey. ---We had a late Dinner -- but went to Bed at 10 o'clock.---
