The Journal of Edward Ward 1850-51

Tuesday, May 6th

The same heavenly weather, calm, glorious sunshine, yet bracing and fresh. Ham and I took a cargo over to the page 178Island and stayed there till dark. Andy glazed a front window and made another. The rest were busy on the stockyard and put up nearly two sides of it. Henry and Caughey had found a new place for rails and firewood and had cut some. Crib caught a wood-hen in the same place. Wortley and Godley came back from Akaroa in a state of enchantment at what they had seen there and on their way. Yesterday Ham and I planted some apple pips and a peach stone in three different places on the left upper side of the gully; they are from Hobart-town or Launceston fruit, dessert on the Travancore.
