From Hampshire Ilills to Emu Bay, a gradual descent of 
20 miles. 
The country from Emu Bay to Circular Head, and from 
thence to Cape Griniuf, or Wa Worth , presents eight rivers, as 
difficult to cross as Scamander, with deep gullies and rocky 
ridges, and marshes more difficult to overcome than either 
ridges or rivers. The country south of Cape Grimnf is hilly, 
heathy, and slightly timbered.
