Text Appearing Before Image:
in places festooned with theclimbing vine Eustrephus hrownii. From this jungle, somewhatsimilar in character to that on the river banks already referredto, rise fine eucalyptus trees with buttressed stems and numeroustall, graceful cabbage palms (Livistonia australis) ; the latterare the only trees of their species found in Victoria, and extendalong the creek for about a mile. How did they get here ? Arethey the last relics of a vegetation surviving from a warmerepoch ? Did aboriginals bring the seeds from farther north inNew South Wales, or were they perhaps conveyed by birds ?Probably we shall never know. At all events, it is satisfactoryto learn that the Government has declared the locality a reserve,and that young plants are still springing up along the creek.Some of the mature trees rear their heads to a height of 60 or80 feet, and are probably at least 200 years old. One has beenalmost burnt through by fire, but its lofty crown is still as green The Emu. Vol. XVIII. PLATE XLIII.
