Swan River 15
January 1827 The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser |
The Success takes to Rotness Island, 2cows
and a bull, a sheep and a ram, 2 goats and 2 pigs, for the purpose of leaving
them there to increase. This Island is about 10miles from the
entrance of Swan River; and, from the circumstance of the natives
never having visited it, there is no doubt but these animals will increase
rapidly. If Swan River turns out as
is expected, there is little doubt that the place will be colonized direct
from England. All sorts of culinary seeds will be sent
with the expedition, for the purpose of benefitting future Colonists. |
