If crab apples, as is said, were the originals of all the present kinds, I imagine an excellent fruit might be obtained from the mulga by cultivation.

As this tree is necessarily so often mentioned in my travels, the remarks of so eminent a botanist upon it cannot be otherwise than welcome.
In the direction of south-south-east Mr.Carmichael said the country appeared most open.

A yellow flower, of the immortelle species, which I picked at this little bluff, was an old Darling acquaintance; the vegetation, in many respects, resembles that of the River Darling.
There was no water at this bluff, and the horses wandered all over the country during the night, in mobs of twos and threes.

It was midday before we got away.

For several hours we kept on south-south-east, over sandhills and through casuarina timber, in unvarying monotony.
