One cannot be certain that a great increase in the day may not be bright sunshine which, in conjunction with the labour and fatigue of walking over rough and rocky ground, where occasionally it is so steep it is impossible to stand without support, has occurred in the case of a false start.

  1. In all the Roads I have been over, the ground is such that considerable exertion and fatigue are endured in arriving at the scene of operations, and it is absolutely requisite to reach Victoria every night. The distance to travel on the Roads I have just mentioned is twelve miles. I will make no further remark regarding it, except to observe that to execute an ordinary day's work, an infinitely greater amount of actual labour is demanded in comparison with other places where more facilities exist for transport from place to place; and that, in order to do any work at all, it is requisite to be on the ground at about five; work cannot be undertaken or carried out with impunity after seven or eight A.M. Occasionally, shelter is obtainable from the afternoon sun, then the work may be renewed and proceeded with until sunset, after which the exertion and danger of the journey to Victoria over perilous Roads, generally in the dark, with little or no twilight, are considerable.

I have dwelt considerably on this topic more than I originally intended, but it will serve as an apology for any apparent slowness in the survey.
