Explore "A Bush Bayard" by John Sandes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Governor Macquarie paid his official visit to Windsor he did it in style, driving in his carriage drawn by four spanking bays, along the well-made road from Parramatta, through Blacktown, where once a year a great muster of blacks was held, and over the lightly wooded undulating plains, already settled with free immigrants, down to the township on the right bank of the noble river.
Mrs. Macquarie sat by his side, and facing him sat Major Cuthbert, his aide-de-camp, and Mary Fitzharding, who had taken the place of her aunt.
