Comment: 
‘the white clay with which the natives paint themselves is still in greater plenty. The Abbe le Receveur was of opinion, that this clay, if cleared from the sand, which might easily be separated, would make excellent porcelain’ [The Voyage Of Governor Phillip To Botany Bay by Arthur Phillip: Chapter XIII]
