Description:
Rare map showing the extent of exploration north of Port Macquarie to 1841, including the recently discovered Clarence River and Moreton Bay which had been opened up to free settlers in 1838. In his report, Governor Gipps lamented the difficulties settlers were having in transporting supplies and produce, especially wool, to market. He advised that he had employed a surveyor at Moreton Bay since 1 July 1839 and that a large quantity of land had been surveyed and was ready to be sold. He also proposed that a town or settlement be established on the Clarence River which had only been discovered two years earlier by cedar cutters.
From Copy of a Dispatch from Sir. Gipps, Governor of New South Wales to the Secretary of the State for the Colonies. Ordered, by the House of Commons, to be Printed, 9 March 1841.
