^DESCRIPTIVE NOTES/Q-s 



ON THE AGRICULTURAL AREAS AND 



CROWN LANDS OPEN FOR 



SELECTION. 



| HE following notes on the agricultural areas and 

 Crown lands available for selection in the South- 

 west Land division of the colony have been 

 specially prepared for this publication. It is 

 impossible to do more than faintly outline, in a 

 few hundred pages, the vast agronomic possi- 

 bilities of even so small a portion of the great territory of Western 

 Australia as the division under review. It would take many 

 volumes the size of the present one to adequately describe, and to 

 completely enumerate, the many advantages that Western Australia, 

 with its diversity of soils and climate, offers to the sturdy agricul- 

 turist of mind and muscle.
