	Walkabout - Port Macquarie
		Port Macquarie is located 407 km north-east of Sydney and 17 metres above sea-level at the mouth of the Hastings River.
		Macquarie's idea was that the settlement would prove self-sustaining and, by 1824, convicts were employed in building, agriculture (mostly wheat, tobacco, cotton, vegetables and maize), boatbuilding, flsmithing, teaching, baking and clerical duties etc. Poultry, pigs, cows and horses were also slowly amassed.
		Activity at the port declined and free settlers suffered from the combined effect of the economic downturn and the loss of cheap labour with the final closure of the penal settlement in 1847.

		PORT MACQUARIE, at the mouth of the Hastings River, was established in 1821 as a place of secondary punishment for convicts who had committed offences after arrival in New South Wales, as well as for hardened criminals from Britain.
		By the late 1820s, however, the spread of population meant that this was no longer an isolated outpost, so the penal settlement was closed and the area was opened up to free settlers.
		As with many other northern coastal ports, the harbour was unreliable and its approaches difficult, so for more than a century the town failed to live up to its early promise of commercial success.
