of six hundred thousand acres of land on the northern and western
shores of Port Phillip, another Launceston man John Pascoe Fawkner,
was organising an expedition for the colonisation of the same territory.
It consisted of Captain Lancey, George Evans, Robert Hay Marr, W.
Jackson, a blacksmith named James, and a ploughman named <b>Wyse</b>.
He had chartered for his expedition, the <i>"Enterprise"</i> a 50 ton
schooner, trading from the port of Launceston. She dropped down the
Tamar in the middle of July 1835, but was detained by foul weather
from putting to sea until the 4th August - Fawkner was prevented by
illnes from accompanying the expedition, the command of which
devolved upon Captain Lancey. After calling at Western Port, the
vessel entered the heads on the 16th August 1835,and eventually
sailed up the Yarra on the 29th.    <i>Ref: "Australia, the First Hundred
