observed many beautiful OrcMdeous plants, amongst them 

 Caladenia carnea and aJba. 



' The view from south-east to north-west was extensive and 

 very grand, presenting an immense, thinly wooded plain, 

 whose surface was gently undulated, and clothed with 

 luxuriant grass. 



Flinders' Peak is seen to the westward, surrounded with 

 numerous smaller ones. To the south and eastward arise a 

 distant range of mountains, (since named Mount Lindsay,) 

 with very lofty peaks, one of which, (ascertained to be 

 ^louTit Hooker,) resembling a pigeon-house in form, is supposed 

 to belong to the lateral branches of Mount Warning Ranges. 

 To the south-west of this Peak appears the Dividing Range, 

 with the gap, or pass, observed by Mr. Cunningham, in 1827, 

 near Gen. Darling's Downs, under which we remarked some 

 extensive flats, perfectly clear of wood. In the centre of 

 the plain rises a remarkable and detached table hill. 



To the north, the eye extends over a tract of lofty and 

 forest-covered hills, interspersed with extensive districts of 

 Araiicaria, (the Moreton Bay Pine,) of which the sombre 

 green colour forms a striking contrast to the brownish hue of 

 the Gum Trees, [Eucalypti.) 



The view easterly is most commanding. It embraces 



Moreton Island and Bay, Stradbroke Island, the Glass 



Houses, with the meanderinizs of the Brisbane River, and 

 th

 ^ I'ange, the Oxley, or Canoe Creek, is seen winding 

 through a tract of fine country.
