AUSTRALIA and TASMANIA

Part of a map denominated SOUTH
AUSTRALIA, designed and
engraved by J. Archer, 1843 On 13 June
1851 Mereweather was examining a map of the
country which the Bishop of Sydney had allotted
to him for his pastoral labours: "I find that
between the Adelaide boundary westward, to
Albury, eastward, there are six degrees of
longitude; and from the Murray, at the junction
of the Campaspie, south, to the Murrumbidgee, at
the junction of the Lachlan, north, there
intervenes a degree and a half of latitude. My
district, then, is comprised between 141º and
147º east longitude, and between about 34º and
36º south latitude. All this vast country lies
in the interior, at the back of the colony of
Port Phillip, or Australia Felix." (Diary,
p. 105)
