[Explorations in Australia by John Forrest]@TWC D-Link bookExplorations in Australia CHAPTER 2 10/68
Found camp to be in south latitude 31 degrees 10 minutes by meridian altitude of sun. 26th. Travelled in about the direction of North 73 degrees East magnetic for twenty-eight miles.
We reached Yarraging, the farthest station to the eastward, belonging to Messrs.
Ward and Adams, where we bivouacked for the night. 27th. Bought some rations from Ward and Co., making our supply equal to last three months on the daily allowance of a pound and a half of flour, half a pound of pork, a quarter of a pound of sugar, and half an ounce of tea per man.
Being unable to take the cart any further, and wishing to have the team horses with me, I arranged with Ward and Co.
to take it to Newcastle for 2 pounds.
