In addition to other public works already in hand, the governor directed
a piece of ground, consisting of about seventy acres, and three-miles
distant from Sydney, to be inclosed for the use of the stock in that

labouring people, less was sown this than in the last year.
The weather had been in general moderate and seasonable.
