Meston here briefly decribes the geology and vegetation of northern Cape York near the Batavia River, and something of the ceremonies, customs and weapons of local Aborigines. He confirms his estimation of the number of Cape York Aborigines, given in his official report as 20,000, and comments on the athleticism and strength of the men. While staying at Bertie Haugh station, he meets Harry Price, a Lifu Islander, and narrates his relationship with an Aboriginal woman. A glossary of Aboriginal words is appended.
