axman does not regard, indeed we cannot recollect of having seen a single acre, which would require so much expense as much of the forest land immediately surrounding the Town and all ready brought into cultivation. We must again mention the great facilities there exists in this block for road making up to the very base of the Mountain and in addition to the great consideration of having a main level road of such extent, it will be found that cross roads of the same character may be made and under this head, we must not forget to mention that for a distance we think little short of 30 miles there is but one bridge necessary. We must again mention the great advantage this block possesses in the Wiwikia flowing thro it offering sites for the largest mills every quarter of a mile. With respect to the grass plains or swamps spoken of in the body of this report we think it necessary here to state, that when viewing these interesting objects no difference of opinion existed amongst us and we therefore entered them in our journals as grass but having subsequently spoken to the natives about them they told us they were swamps and we have therefore, on their authority, entered them as doubtful, but how far they are likely to know what lay behind a trackless forest of 70 Miles, we leave to the decision of others. In conclusion we record our opinion that the land between this and the Mountain is in every view suited to agriculture being level and of the finest soil sheltered from the south and south west winds and the sea breezes and moreover the climate much forwarder as was abundantly proved, by the ripeness of the forest berries, it is however equally evident that much more rain falls in the neighbourhood of the Mountain than in this Settlement.
