Next morning walked round the whole of the cleared and cultivated land, with the Rev.Mr.Johnson, who is the best farmer in the country.

Edward Dod, one of the governor's household, who conducts everything here in the agricultural line, accompanied us part of the way, and afforded all the information he could.
He estimates the quantity of cleared and cultivated land at 200 acres.

Of these fifty-five are in wheat, barley, and a little oats, thirty in maize, and the remainder is either just cleared of wood, or is occupied by buildings, gardens, etc.

Four enclosures of twenty acres each, are planned for the reception of cattle, which may arrive in the colony, and two of these are already fenced in.

In the centre of them is to be erected a house, for a person who will be fixed upon to take care of the cattle.
All these enclosures are supplied with water; and only a part of the trees which grew in them being cut down, gives to them a very park-like and beautiful appearance.
Our survey commenced on the north side of the river.
