Had another hour out in the first 20 miles. Then
no more for the day.
The country up to Newcastle appears to be settled
thinly out along the river bottoms - first in the stream
that flows into the St John - then almost no homes
across the divide, and none of them along the Miri-
michie that flows into Newcastle Bay.
From Newcastle to Bathurst the short road of
45 miles is all through the forest and one sees no
clearing until within ten miles of Bathurst.
