Wednesday 9. Jany. 1822.
I set out from Sydney this morning in the Carriage, accompanied by Mrs. Macquarie and Lachlan, at 7 o'clock, on a short Excursion to visit the Revd. Mr. Reddall & Family at Macquarie Field, and the Cow Pastures; having made an appointment with Sir Thomas Brisbane to meet us at the latter Place. ---We arrived at Liverpool at 1/2 past 9, Breakfasted at Dillon's Inn, and staid afterwards at Mr. Moore's till 12 o'clock. We then pursued our Journey to Macquarie Field -- where we arrived at 1 p.m. -- and were most kindly & hospitably received by the Host & Hostess.
I found Mr. Meehan here, who had arrived from Bathurst on the day preceding.---
My Servants & Baggage for my Tour to Illawarra had also arrived here last Night. ---We sat down to Dinner at 5 o'clock, and went early to Bed.---
