There were small falls and rapids in several parts of the river.

A beaten foot-path of the natives, and many fire-places, showed that this part of it was much frequented by them.

Wallabies were very numerous between the cliffs of the felspathic rock; and the fine fig trees along the banks of the river were covered with ripe fruit.

The river made a wide sweep round the left side of a large limestone hill, whilst a chain of deep basaltic water-holes continued on its right.

The basalt ceased to the westward of the limestone hill, and was succeeded by considerable flats of Ironbark, Moreton Bay ash, and Bloodwood.
