These matters having been arranged, I had a temporary awning erected near the river, and was for three or four days busily employed writing an account of our journey for the Governor's information.

We had not seen any natives for many days, but a few passed the camp on the opposite side of the river on the evening of the 25th. They would not, however, come to us; but fled into the interior in great apparent alarm.

I had no inducement to proceed further into the interior. I had been sufficiently disappointed in the termination of this excursion, and the track before me was still less inviting.

The staple of our Australian colonies, but more particularly of New South Wales, the climate and the soil of which are peculiarly suited to its production, - is fine wool.

We've been out of Super for about a week, out of Plus for about three or four days, and we had a half-day yesterday where we had no gas at all. From what my supplier is telling me, I understand the problem seems to be at the refinery level.

is try to spend three or four days here and I pretend that I'm going to screenings, but actually I ski all day and crash parties at night.
