APPENDIX II. 



DISCOVEEY OP GIPPS LAND. 

 (See p. 320.) 



MY attention has been directed to the report of a journey made from 

 Sydney towards Western Port, by way of the Moneroo Downs and the 

 South of the Australian Alps in 1835, by Mr. George M'Killop and party. 

 They crossed the Snowy River three times and passed through a country 

 watered by numerous rivers. Mr. M'Killop ascended a range about thirty 

 or thirty-five miles from the sea, but planned a settlement near Lake 

 Omeo. His discovery was noticed in Sydney and Hobart newspapers at 

 the time, and a brief account of the journey, with a rough sketch map, 

 appeared in the Journal of Agriculture, Edinburgh, 1836.
