Hawkesbury-Hunter ranges are surveyed for Major Mitchell’s map

With teams of Assistant Surveyors and their men, the Hawkesbury-Hunter ranges are surveyed for Major Mitchell’s map of 1834. After Singleton no-one tries to get a road to Bathurst over the northern Blue Mountains and the Colo River again. The Branch Natives in the Hawkesbury-Hunter Ranges are still living out in the ranges and ignored, when Mitchell’s surveyors came through. Mitchell’s surveyors hardly mention them in their reports. Mitchell’s insistence on conciseness means much history is lost.
