John Bingle in the Sally 1822

by loganuniacke@gmail.com

Mr. John Bingle, a retired naval officer, arrived in Sydney in 1821, at the age of twenty-five. Three months later he was placed in command of H.M. Cutter “Sally”, with instructions to search for a large river supposed to exist between Port Macquarie and Sandy Cape. Entering Moreton Bay in March 1822, he spent four days at Pumicestone Channel and satisfied himself that this was not a river.
