Australia Twice Traversed
The Romance of Exploration

CHAPTER 1
2/21

On camping in the glen we had only made good eleven miles, though to accomplish this we had travelled more than double the distance.

At the camp a branch creek came out of the mountains to the westwards, which I named Phillip's Creek.

The whole of this line of ranges is composed of red sandstone in large or small fragments, piled up into the most grotesque shapes.

Here and there caves and caverns exist in the sides of the hills.
A few trees of the cypress pine (Callitris) were seen upon the summits of the higher mounts.

The hills and country generally seen in this glen are more fertile than those outside, having real grass instead of triodia upon their sides.
