Point I
From this River to I, an extensive bay winds to the Northwestward, the land on the Southern part is low, sandy & Swampy, near the center of this bay a spit of sand & weeds runs off ¾ of a mile, here the shore changes to low sand and Iron stone cliffs, which are soon succeeded by high perpendicular cliffs of yellow sand stone, and those again by green sandy downs without trees; from these downs to point K the Shore is bound by loose rugged masses of Iron Stone and of dangerous access.
Point K
In the bay between K & L the beach is sandy and bold to the shore rises in sandy cliffs with small trees, inland an arid Sea sand, covered with heath and ferns stretches as far as I examined.
Points L.M.
From L to M are sandy cliffs, surmounted by downs of the same nature, with single trees, the beach sandy & bold.
M. N.
From M. to N. the sandy cliffs are well wooded and the beach is likewise bold; at N. are two projecting green points low level and without trees; the soil sand and ashes from the Native's fires, who seem to frequent this spot from the sea-ears and limpet shells strewed on the ground.
NO.
From N to O. are two bays, the southern rocky and the north, no difficulty attended [indecipherable] the water off in the morning with the assistance of the land winds. From the saltiness of the water at this time I conclude that it has another communication with the first, as the stream continued to run out through this entrance.
