John Molloy, Notes of an Excursion in the Vicinity of the Vasse 25 February 1835 by J Molloy (1835)
“ This morning after accompanying Mess Roe & Bland for 3⁄4 of an hour the uninteresting appearance of the country not offering any inducement to continue with them to the extent of their excursion, we separated at 9.45 taking a direction to the SSE. At 10 o'clock we came on a stream of pure fresh water which ran parallel with our course for a short distance at 1⁄2 past 10 turned to the SE passing over some abrupt hills of red sand stone in which was imbedded some dark metalliferous substance. ”
