eached, in a great southerly bend in long. 144 degrees 34 minutes east, lat. 24 degrees 14 minutes south, and from Jacksonville Jaguars Tröjor rising ground beyond the left bank, I could trace its downward course far to the northward. I saw no Callitris (Pine of the colonists) in all that country, but a range, shewing sandstone cliffs appeared to the southward, in long. 145 degrees and lat. 24 degrees 30 minutes south. The country to the northward of the river, is, upon the whole, the best, yet, in riding ninety miles due east from where I crossed the southern bend, I found plenty of water, and excellent grass, a red gravel there approaches the river, throwing it off to the northward.

Whatever the local appearances might have been, which led the Surveyor-General to conclude Baltimore Ravens Kvinnor that it would reach the northern coast, I do not know, but notwithstanding the favourable report he made of it, I never for a moment anticipated that this river would do David Silva Tröja so; I felt assured, indeed, that however promising it might be, it would either enter the Stony Desert or be found to turn southward, and be lost amongst marshes and lagoons. The appearance of Cooper’s Creek might have justified my most sanguine expectations, but I was too well aware of the character of Australian rivers, and had seen too much of the Halpa Miehet Cg Westmount Parka country into which they fall, to trust Mexico Drakt Barn them beyond the range of sight. Maillot Allemagne Pas CHer My natural course on the discovery of Cooper’s Creek would have been to have traced it downwards, but I was not unmindful that I should keep it between myself and the track on which Mr. Browne and I had last returned from the north-west interior, in pursuing Halpa Lapset Denali Takki the northerly course I intended, and I consequently felt satisfied, after a little consideration, that if it continued northerly, I sho |
