Creek Range, where the hard Cambrian or Pre-Cambrian rocks 

 gave place to softer Permo-Carboniferous deposits. This led 

 to an eastern breach by what is now the Finniss E-iver, thereby- 

 capturing the lower course of the Meadows Valley. The 

 remarkable course of this river has been referred to by Prof. 

 Howchin.(i) The same process can be studied on the western 

 side, but in a less advanced stage, in several small streams, 

 which have actually breached the scarp, but have not yet 

 captured much of the drainage of the old valley. The most 

 notable of these is Dashwood Gully. Peter Creek, heading 

 in the northern Kuitpo Forest Reserve, shows the same 

 features.
