AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Meston describes picturesque and romantic mountains, as well as dense 'scrub,' in the coastal region between Cooktown and the Daintree. He states that the country at the mouth of the Bloomfield River is haunted by crocodiles and by many other species and that the local tribes are cannibals. He and Mr Schwarz, the missionary, return to the Aboriginal camp on the Annan River. Meston refers to recent attacks on homesteads and to reprisals which punished 'some of the wrong people.'
