There is also under the same range a narrow strip of fine grassy country for the whole length of the range, namely about 160 miles.

I have every confidence that, should the country be settled, it would prove a remunerative speculation, and, if water can be procured on the table land, would be the finest pastoral district of Western Australia.
CONCLUSION.
Before I conclude, I have the pleasing duty to record my entire appreciation of every member of the party.

I need not particularize, as one and all had the interest and welfare of the expedition at heart, and on no occasion uttered a single murmur.
Finally, sir, my best and most sincere thanks are due to his Excellency Governor Weld for the very efficient manner in which the expedition was equipped.

It is chiefly owing to the great zeal and desire of his Excellency that I should have everything necessary that the success of the enterprise is attributable.
I have, etc., JOHN FORREST, Leader of Expedition.
The Honourable F.P.Barlee, Esquire, Colonial Secretary, Western Australia..
