Moss Vale

But the course hasn't been affected from what I've seen.

So, yeah, Moss Vale is a bit like if you want to keep taking drive, you better hit it on a string.

Yeah,

right.

This journal, written in a clear hand on double sheets of foolscap, roughly fastened together with a piece of red thread, is now in the Mitchell Library.

Although it has been supposed in a general way that the party reached the Wenge-Caribee River or the Wollandilly west of Moss Vale, or even the Lachlan in their first journey, No detailed account by an investigator has ever been given of the route taken in either journey, nor have their journeys been previously unravelled.

Having given attention to this matter for a number of years, I have endeavoured in the present paper to locate some of the landmarks referred to in the lad's record along the route, and am satisfied that several of them have been identified with a high degree of certainty.

The method adopted in interpreting the journal has been to give some reasonable weight to the direction quoted, to accept the distance in a straight line as being usually little more than half that quoted, and, from local knowledge and the ordinary laws of bushcraft, to pick out their track among the physical features referred to such as hills and streams.

February 2nd, course east-northeast.

The country still runs very fine, full of large meadows and some thousands of acres of land without any timber upon it, except here and there one tree and some very large lakes of water some three miles long, but saw no birds of any kind about them.

I have carefully investigated this entry and am satisfied it refers to the country around Bong Bong between Boral and Moss Vale and up towards the Wingecarribee Swamp.

The lad's figures may be exaggerated, but there are very large areas of swampy meadowlands with here and there one tree.

Harper refers to several lakes in the Medway rivulet, one which he noted on May 30th, 1821, or 23 years after the explorers were in the district, being where the present road from Moss Vale crosses the rivulet at Sutton Forest.

The matter is made clear, however, by Collins, who speaks of ponds of great length having been discovered, and does not mention lakes.
