[Explorations in Australia by John Forrest]@TWC D-Link bookExplorations in Australia CHAPTER 2 66/68
To Mr.George Monger and Mr.Malcolm Hamersley I am indebted for their co-operation and advice on all occasions.
I am also deeply indebted to Mr.Hamersley for collecting and preserving all the botanical specimens that came within his reach, as well as the great trouble and care taken with the store department, placed under his immediate charge.
To probation prisoner David Morgan my best thanks are due as the shoeing smith, as well as acting cook for the party the whole time.
Of Tommy Windich (native) I cannot speak too highly, being very useful in collecting the horses, as well as a first-class huntsman, and really invaluable as a water finder. Accompanying me on many trying occasions, suffering often from want of water, he showed energy and determination deserving of the highest praise.
Jemmy Mungaro was also a first-class bushman, and invaluable as a water finder.
