In the first part of this record of the New England career of John James Galloway the surveyor, the last section concluded towards the end of 1849, at which time he had been based for some time at Warialda, with occasional returns to his main camp at Armidale. Over the next three years or so he was to consolidate the embryonic townships, communication lines and reserve systems for the Northern Tablelands, as well as do important survey work along the western slopes and the Dividing Range, while also supervising Assistant Surveyor Henderson's labours on the central western and south western verges of the area.
