This morning George and Van left to spend the weekend at Seagreen's farm, about 14 miles out of town on the Endeavour River. This time their main objective is the whiptail wallaby. Cooktown is celebrating the Kennedy Centenary today. A sports meeting in the main street, and the unveiling of a monument to Kennedy and his party. In 1848, Kennedy, leading a party of 13 men, made the first land exploration of the Cape York Peninsula, Kennedy was speared by the blacks, and all but two of his follow- ers perished. Dan O'Brien, secretary of the Royal Geographical Society of Queensland, was here for the occasion. Mrs. Boyd, 83-year old pioneer of the Peninsula (went to Merluna with her husband in 1888) did the unveiling. Hodges, chairman of the Cook Shire Council, was leader of the piece. I was roped in to take a seat of honor and make a speech.
