The geographer had visited Twofold Bay on his own account , and was aware that there were no means of transport for Sydney or Melbourne . But of the three vessels anchored in the roadstead one was loading for Auckland , the capital of the northern island of New Zealand .
Географ побывал в заливе Туфолд на свой страх и риск и знал, что до Сиднея и Мельбурна нет транспортных средств. Но из трех судов, стоящих на рейде, одно грузилось для Окленда, столицы северного острова Новой Зеландии.
