Although it was still early in the day when we returned from our morning visit to the ladies at Barrangoop, Mrs. Thomson was not likely to allow her husband and his friend to undertake a long journey on horseback on what the Scotch elder most appropriately called "a cold collection." After partaking, therefore, of an early dinner, we mounted fresh horses and "took to the bush," the day of our departure being the 28th of January 1846. The usual route from Geelong to Lake ...
