Friday June 10. Made a
family early start and
continued on down to
river. Had a fair wind to
start with, but it soon
turned and we had to paddle
against it nearly all this
afternoon. Mr passed several
long bends and large
banks and built right
around miles above

of very high banks
of sandstone and even

several places. Mr reached
First Norman at 7.30.
Found the Wragley there
as she had decided not
to go down to Crook Point.
