The First Discovery of Australia and New Guinea

CHAPTER XI
34/60

It is better to approach near the river Salvador, and there is another moderate port which is distant 2 leagues from this on the N.to S.coast.
All the said beach is bordered by a dense mass of great trees, with paths leading from them to the shore.

It seemed to serve as a wall, the better to carry on defensive or offensive operations against other natives coming to make war.

All the rest is a level plain, with hills on either side.

Those on the W.side run southward, becoming more elevated and more massive as their distances increase.

As for the plain, we have not seen where it ends.
