Thursday Oct 22nd

Beautiful day.

Route marched round city of
Hobart 8 am to 11 am.
Splendid reception by public
great crowds witnessed re-embark-
ation and enthusiastic send off
when ships hauled out 12-30 pm

Anchored in stream until 3 pm
then left for Albany.

Hobart very interesting but
drought on and everything
parched up at present.
