48 THE WOMBAT. 



the Little Falls, with a drop of about ten feet, and as the 

 water leaps over this in a huge sheet it finds its way through 

 a gorge of natural rockery which echoes to the clamour of the 

 rushing stream. For this particular place the mid-day light 

 is the most suitable, as the sun is overhead, and consequently 

 we get the desired distribution of light and shade. 



Passing on, we reach the Sheoak Falls, so-called, which 

 are really ledges of slate down which the water slides from 

 ledge to ledge in a gradual descent, till it runs in a peaceful 

 current through another basin, apparently hewn out of one 

 huge boulder. 



We now come to the valleys where the stream flows 

 more peacefully, and it is here, I maintain, that the photo- 

 grapher has the largest scope. It is a well-known fact that 

 in narrow river scapes the addition of life is a great acquis- 

 ition to a picture, and here we see plenty of cattle feeding on 

 the green banks of the stream ; there are also many 

 fording places, and particular nooks where the cattle go to 

 drink, and patience and a good use of the apparatus are all 

 that are needed to add gems to one's collection. The mid- 

 day light is also the best for these parts, for the same reason 

 as for the former. 



Our own club has made several trips to these spots on 

 the river, and hopes to make many more, and as one of the 

 party I may say that the club would be delighted to have 

 the company of any members of other societies who may 

 wish to go.
