Excerpt: ... 488 SOUTH ALLIGATOR RIVER. the pericarp more developed--were abundant on the flats of the river; and Acmena ?, with smaller fruit and thin acidulous rind, grew straggling on the ridges. A thunder-storm from the north-east, compelled us to hasten into c& and we had scarcely housed our luggage, when heavy rain set in and continued to fall during the first part of the night. Nov. 24.--We travelled about nine miles to the north-west, to lat. 13 5' 49," which a clear night enabled me to observe by a meridian altitude of Castor. We were, according to my latitude, and to my course, at the South Alligator River, about sixty miles from its mouth, and about one hundred and forty miles from Port Essington. The river gradually increased in size, and its bed became densely fringed with Pandanus; the hollows and flats were covered with groves of drooping tea-trees. Ridges of sandstone and conglomerate approached the river in several places, and at their base were seen some fine reedy and rushy lagoons, teeming with water-fowl. A flock of black Ibises rose from a moist hollow; white and black cockatoos, were seen and heard frequently. At day-break, 1 was struck with the sweet song of Rhipidura flaviventris, Gould. The natives cooeed from the other side of the river, probably to ascertain whether we were friendly or hostile; but did not shew themselves any farther. They were Unio eaters to a great extent, SMALLER SPECIES OF UNIO. 489 judging from the heaps of shells we saw along the river; the species of Unio on which they lived, was much smaller than that we had observed on the Roper. John and Charley saw a native in the bed of the river, busily employed in beating a species of bark, very probably to use its fibres to strain honey. He did not...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I observed on the ridges an Acacia, a small tree, from thirty to forty feet high, and from six to nine inches in diameter, and easily distinguished by its peculiar rough frizzled bark, similar to that of the Casuarina found at the ranges of the Robinson. It has a dark sweet-scented heartwood, like that of the Bricklow and the Myal and other Acacias, which I had previously met with. The creek turned to the north and north-east, into a plain, and joined a larger creek which came in from the right at about south-west. Near their junction, a very conspicuous peak was observed, with several small water-holes with water at its foot. I then returned to the spot to which Charley had been ordered to conduct the camp; but, as the party had not arrived, I feared that some accident might have happened, and therefore rode towards the water-holes from which Brown had gone back to the camp. I found the detention caused by the absence of the horses, which had strayed to the other side of the range.

Download or read book Port Essington written by Jim Allen and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966 Jim Allen undertook the first professional excavation of European site in Australia. The 1840s military settlement of Victoria was established at Port Essington, the northernmost part of the Northern Territory and was the end point of Ludwig Leichhardt's epic journey in 1844-45. This settlement was the longest lived of three failed attempts by the British to establish a settlement on the northern coast of Australia before 1850. Its history reflects many of the dominant themes of wider colonial history - isolation, tropical disease, poorly equipped and inexperienced colonists, inept government bureaucracies and relations with the Indigenous population.
