In search of Leichhardt - Augustus Charles Gregory

TRANSCRIPT

Sept 11 1857: Attended a Public Meeting at the German Club Rooms Sydney, which had been called for the purpose of establishing a Committee to Consider the best manner of conducting a search for traces of Dr. Leichhardt who had left the settled districts of Moreton Bay in 184[4] to proceed to Western Australia but of whom no authentic tidings have since been received. At the Meeting it was resolved to form an association to be called the Leichhardt Association having the above named objects. And I was requested to prepare an estimate of the probable Cost and also to suggest general details for an expedition in search of the missing Explorers.
