Summary
An extract of John Batmn's journey to Port Phillip and his first impressions with the land and its indigenous inhabitants reprinted from his journal.
Batman's crucial first expedition to Port Phillip in May-June 1835. Based on historical events rather than on Batman's actual journal and written to reinforce his claim to be the founder of Melbourne, this embellished account of the expedition has been attributed by Henry Gyles Turner to Joseph Tice Gellibrand and a prominent member of the Port Phillip Association.
