“ The concretion is thickest just within and at the mouth of a burrow, and dies away upwards on the face of the rock, just as the stain of smoke coming from a crevice is dark at the fissure, and becomes fainter and fainter up the side of the wall. ”

“ The whitish limestone (similar to the bryozoal limestone of the Mount Gambier district) has its exposed edges excavated by innumerable burrows of wallabies, kangaroo-rats, opossums, etc., which live and breed here in countless numbers, far in the body of the rock, and the upper part of the openings of these burrows are coated with a softish-brown fetid material, which appears to be the concreted exhalations and effluvia coming from the heated interiors of these long-inhabited and thickly tenanted burrows. ”

“ East of these hills are three terraces leading down to the river. The first is the broadest, extending about two-thirds the distance, and falls twenty feet to the river. It is composed chiefly of sand; but rocks similar to those of the western rock crop out here and there. The second terrace averages about two-ninths of the distance between the range and the river: it falls about thirty feet; sometimes not more than ten or fifteen feet ”
