as the various kinds of Eucalypti, the Tur-

 The harbour of Port Jackson is one of the fin- 

 est in the world. At its entrance is the bold 

 rocky promontory of North Head; on South 

 Head now stands a lighthouse, from which the 

 revolving electric light is seen for several miles 

 around. Many cosey nooks and charming bays 

 are to be seen along the shores of this beautiful 

 harbour, and many lovely islets are scattered 

 over its placid waters. It was upon its banks that 

 the first settlement was formed, from which have 

 sprung up the great capital cities of Sydney, 

 Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane & Perth.
