Primarily given over to reports of pastoral occupation including several first-hand accounts of new country explored. Present-day readers may be interested to note the comments made by the Government Resident J. Langdon Parsons in his section headed 'Aboriginals and Settlement' in the first report: 'The blacks are beginning to realise that the white man with his herds and his fences and his preservation of water is interfering with what they properly enough from their point of view regard as their natural rights. Their hunting grounds and game preserves are being disturbed and their food supply both diminished and rendered uncertain. That settlement and stocking must and will go on is certain - that outrages will be committed by both sides is probable; but even those who do not claim to be philanthropists are not satisfied with the contemplation that the blacks are to be improved off the face of the earth'.
