gulf by a platform of brown plain. At this point of the drive 
there is an abundance of Hibbertia sericea growing between 
many loose and outcropping stones ; other plants are : heather ; 
Leptospermum myrsinoides ; Acrotriche scrrulata ; Dianella 
revoluta and Pultenaea daphnoides. A bend in the tree-lined vista 
gives a better view to the north where there is a gap in the ridge 
across Workanda Creek. The drive now leaves the ridge and, 
following the north slope, more distant views are to be obtained 
on the right hand. The pink gum is the chief tree here, and at 
one place they form an arch over the track while, on a small rise 
to the left, is a fine specimen about three feet in diameter at the 
base. The road now bears away to the right and passes through 
more pink gums and stringybarks. The visitor may now be 
thrilled by looking to the east across Workanda Creek and 
observing Mount Lofty summit standing out in bold relief. A 
fine sample of the pink gum is situated on the left hand and may 
be recognized by its massive spreading tortuous branches. 
Beyond this tree to the west is a wonderful panorama of many 
miles of scenery, including a long stretch of sea. The road now 
swings to the left in a semicircle, and at this spot the views to 
the west and east are very fine indeed, and one could stay a long 
time at this place and enjoy the fare which nature provides. It 
seems certain that this spot is destined to be one of the greatest 
value to the park, as it also has two other attractions, viz., the 
top waterfall a little distance away on the right and an extra- 
ordinary plateau (not far ahead) which forms a relief to the 
mass of hills and gullies which are encountered at this end of 
the park. 
The Plateau. 
The country now opens out and on the plateau there are 
pink gums with an undergrowth of IAssanthe strigosa, Hibbertia 
sericea, and a few blue gums. At the further edge of the plateau 
there is an edging of large boulders which forms the top of the 
gully running below. This is a very attractive feature and there 
is nothing like it in any other part of the park. Nature has been 
generous in providing interesting and diversified scenery here, 
but on account of its comparative inaccessibility and being prac- 
tically unknown to the general public, it is rarely visited. One 
can rest here on the rampart of rocks and, in quiet contemplation, 
absorb the scenery and listen to the gentle aeolian whispers 
through the trees combining with the carolling of the magpie 
and the kookaburra’s strident hilarity. Surrounded by these 
many expressions of nature, from the hurried steps of the busy 
ants to the floating of the intangible tracery of clouds across 
the azure dome, one may very easily feel in tune with the Infinite.
