vented my examining it to any distance above its point of union with the main river. Yet, coming as it did, direct from the north, and similar as it was to the Darling in its upper branches, neither had I, nor any of the men then with me, and who had accompanied me when I discovered the Darling in 1828, the slightest doubt as to its identity. Still, the fact might reasonably be disputed by others, more especially as there was abundant space for the formation of another river, between the point where I first struck the Darling and this junction.

3. The Darling
It was at all events a matter of curious speculation to the world at large, and was a point well worthy Duke Waxed Takki Suomi of further Pitkä Suomi investigation. Such evidently was the opinion of her Majesty’s Government at the time, for in accordance with it, in the year 1835, Sir Thomas Mitchell, the Surveyor-General of the colony of New South Wales, was directed to lead an expedition into Luxury Boulder Suomi the interior, to solve the question, by tracing the further course of the Darling. This officer left Sydney in May, 1835, and pushing to the N.W. gradually descended to Oporto Jerseys the low country on which the Macquarie river all but terminates its short course. In due time Parajumpers Long Bear Damen Schweiz he gained the Bogan river (the New Year’s Creek of my first expedition, and so called by my friend, Mr. Dam Moncler Jackor Sverige Hamilton Hume, who accompanied me as my assistant, because he crossed it on that day), and tracing it downwards to the N. W., Sir Thomas Mitchell ultimately gained the banks of the Darling, where I had before been upon it, in latitude 30 degrees. He then traced it downwards to the W.S.W {S.S.W. in published text} to latitude 32 degrees 26 seconds. At this point he determined to abandon all further pursuit of the river, and he accordingly returned to Sydney, in consequence, as he informs us, of his having ascertained that just below his camp a small stream joined the Darling from the Rainbow International Bright Brass Takki Suomi westward. The Surveyor-General had noticed distant hills also to the west; and it is therefore to be presumed that he here gave up eve |
