  • Title: After leaving Ravensworth, Backhouse & Walker 'were assisted with horses, in fording the Hunter', then continued their journey 'on foot, passing the habitations of some settlers, to Cock-fighters-bridge, on the Wollombi Rivulet'. At Cockfighter Bridge, the party 'were hospitably entertained at the house of a person belonging the Survey Department, under whose charge, a party of prisoners were employed in the erection of a bridge'. The prisoners 'were lodged in huts of split timber' with 'numerous fissures in the walls of which admitted much air', but 'fires were allowed, to keep out the frost'. The men had 'only one blanket each, in which they slept, on large sheets of bark, put up like berths in a ship'.
