I do not wish to be supposed to say, even passingly, that in no part of tropical Australia can the white man work. Behind the coast lands of which I have been speaking comes the mountain wall which may be said roughly to encircle the Whole continent. This wall contains the mineral wealth of Australia, and upon it is the white man's throne. In Queensland there are two main plateaux, one at the southern and one towards the northern end Of the coast range - both of them some thousands Of feet above the sea, both Of them Of great extent, and both Of them eminently suited in soil, climate, natural vealth, and the beauty and charm of their sur roundings for the settlement Of a large white population. All along the'range between them the mining centres are fitted for occupation by white races, who can work easily in the dry and bracing air. Behind the wall the interior Of the country is one vast extent Of rolling grass plain, lightly timbered, where, at present, men are rare, and herds of sheep and oxen, which are to be counted by millions, roam at will. The whole Of this vast territory needs only sufficient water to become capable of sustaining multitudes Of men. Within the last five years it seems to have become apparent that Nature, so lavish in every other respect, has not omitted this essential gift. She has only stored in the cool depths of the earth what would have evaporated upon the surface, and under the greater part of the sandstone formation immense beds of artesian water have been found.
