Leeson (groom) and three black boys, onto the opposite shore, bringing
Mr. H.N. Campbell and a black boy down to the ship, arriving on board at 1.15 p.m. on the 9th February. I have the honour to be Sir, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) Charles Cecil Gascoyne, Second Lieutenant. ... Bunnawaunah, Darling River, June 2 1862. Sir, I have the honour to inform you that the exploring party under my command arrived here yesterday in safety and in good health. From the Gulf of Carpentaria we came, in search of Burke's party, without difficulty, to Gregory's route from Queensland to South Australia, to a point within 280 miles of the point marked first depot on Burke's route on the map which shows the routes of different explorers. Our route from the Gulf of Carpentaria, Mr. Gregory's route to South Australia, and the routes of other explorers demonstrate the fact that sheep, cattle, and horses can be taken at a small cost and in the finest condition from South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and the inland districts of Queensland to stock the country near the Gulf of Carpentaria, or for exportation to India or elsewhere. |
