On the 26th we arrived at Salisbury, twelve miles from Adelaide.

Through all these towns we have been most cordially received, and I shall never forget the attention and kindly welcome received on the journey through South Australia.
RECEPTION AT ADELAIDE.
On the 27th August we left Salisbury, and for an account of our journey from there to Adelaide I cannot do better than insert an extract from the South Australian Register of August 27th, 1870:-- "On Saturday morning the band of explorers from Western Australia, under the leadership of Mr.Forrest, made their entrance into Adelaide.

They left Salisbury at half-past nine o'clock, and when within a few miles of the city were met by Inspector Searcy and one or two other members of the police force.

Later on the route they were met by an escort of horsemen, who had gone out to act as a volunteer escort.

At Government House Gate a crowd of persons assembled, who gave them a hearty cheer as they rode up.
The whole party at once rode up to Government House, where they were received by his Excellency, who was introduced to all the members of the expedition, and spent a quarter of an hour in conversation with Mr.
Forrest, and in examining with interest the horses and equipments, which all showed signs of the long and severe journey performed.
