the landscape. Moyston, Stawell, and Dunkeld are the only 
towns visible from Mount William. To the south, the vast and 
fertile plains of the Hopkins, dotted over with small lakes, 
resembling sparkling stars, in the far distance, give a momentary 
relief from the contemplation of apparently interminable 
mountain scenery. Descending one of the deep gorges or gullies 
of the mountain, the traveller finds himself in the midst of a 
dense, luxuriant growth of fern-trees, Lomarias, Gleicheneas, &c., 
their ample fronds completely canopying the mountain streams. 
As he advances downwards the gorge widens, and now, indeed, 
he is in the “ The Garden of Victoria.” The walks, however, are 
badly kept, for one has to labour through the dense entangled 
mass of vegetation with the utmost difficulty. Pultenzas, 
Coprosmas, Daviesias, Pomaderris, Baueras, Hoveas, Melaleucas, 
Eriostemons, Correas, Sprengelias, Clematis, Billardieras, and 
hundreds of others too numerous to mention, mingle their 
brilliant red, yellow, blue, pink, and scarlet flowers in such pro- 
fusion as to fairly dazzle the eyes of the spectator.
