Flinders Journal – 12 September

Sunday 12 September, 1802

Upper Head; Broad Sound

"At nine the next morning passed a fifth opening, and anchored abreast of the hilly projection on its east side, which I have named Upper Head. ... This was the first place on the main where there was any prospect of being able to land; for the western shore, thus far up, was equally low, and as much over-run with mangroves and defended by muddy flats, as the shores of Keppel Bay." (P62)
