Having loaded the packhorse, we mounted and
started from our barracks at 8 a.m., the party consisting
of myself and three troopers. Crossing the Ophir Creek
at the junction, and i.toiling up the long hill which rises
on the western side of the stream we proceeded across
the country towards " Pullen's Fall "—a crossing place
of the Summer-hill Creek. The country here is much
broken, and shows evident signs of volcanic action. The
tops of many of the hills are covered with scoria and
basalt, and we found fine specimens of common opal. In
about 7 miles we came to the edge of an almost precipi-
tous hill which borders the Summer-hill or Ophir Creek,
which, with some difficulty, we scrambled down. The
crossing place here is a dangerous one, the bed of the
creek being filled with large round stones, smooth, and
slippery over which the horses could scarcely keep their
feet. When the creek is high this ford is impassable,
as the raging torrent from the mountain, confined in
its narrow bed, would doom both man and horse to
certain destruction on the rocks below. After toiling up
the steep range on the opposite side, and under a broil-
ing sun, in about a mile and a half distance from the
ford, we reached Pullen's station. Here resides a small
settler, whose cattle range the hills which surround his
dwelling, the manufacture butter and cheese occupies his
attention, and proddces a sufficient income to meet the
moderate requirements of a bushman's family. We ob-
tained some milk and water, which was very grateful
after the fagging walk up the range from the ford, and,
proceeding onwards, we crossed a rough and hilly
country, the mountains becoming more steep and broken
as they approach the Macquarie river. Northward I
observed seven or eight flat-topped hills of extraordinar
formation, which are perfectly level on the summits,
and being exactly of a height seem as if at some time they
formed a waste level plain of many miles extent, and
some fearful convulsion of nature had broken them
asunder, dividing them in several parts, and finally
leaving them in-their present detached state. The levels
of all these hills are covered with scoria, and from the
edges overhang large rugged masses of basaltic rock,
forming as it were a fringe round the summit of each
tableland. By a narrow and exceedingly steep cats'
track we descended from the top of the range to the
river. Here the banks of the Macquarie are very pre-
cipitous, the mountains towering to a great height along
and on both sides. The river in many, parts is choked
up with immense masses of rock, which, becoming de-
tached from the precipices above, have rolled down into
the stream. Following the river for about two miles
over a most rugged path, we reached the Turon river,
where it discharges itself into the Macquarie. We here
crossed the latter, and at the junction found a small
bush store kept by two brothers of the name of Rout-
ledge, who, content with the profits which accrue from
supplying the diggers in the neighbourhood, are appa-
rently indifferent to the valued produce of the river,
which runs in front of their store ; they are, however,
purchasers of gold, and it is certainly an extraordinary
fact in this hitherto despised convict colony of New
South Wales that, although these men are known to
possess money and gold in considerable quantity,
they are left unmolested, and yet, so isolated is their
position, they might be both robbed and murdered
without the possibility of assistance in their defence
from any human being. The banks of the Turon
are here highly picturesque, studded with the
ever-fresh Cuswarina, and at this season covered
with rich and fresh-looking grass. This river winds so
abruptly and constantly that we were obliged to cross
it at every few hundred yards, and the side from which
the river turns is invariably a cliff formed by the con-
stant washing of the water. On the opposite bank are
noticed with interest the long sloping points which have
always been found to contain the richest deposits of the
precious metal. About a mile up we came suddenly
upon two men digging ; they were much disgusted at
being caught in such an out of the way place by one of
the dreaded commissioners. As a matter of course
they had no money, but, upon being threatened with
removal from the ground, they said they could pro-
cure the needful at the store. I sent a trooper with
them, and the money was forthcoming, in exchange
for the license to dig for one month. Another man
I afterwards found, with whom I had some trouble,
but having given him 24 hours' notice to leave the
ground, or I would take him, I proceeded upwards and
came to a spot where about thirty men were at work.
As it was now 4 p.m. I made up my mind to remain
here the night, and while my troopers were unloading
proceeded to collect the licenses. Here I had little
trouble, except that one party told me they had sent
into Sofala (30 miles) for licenses ; their mate had been
gone three days; bilk suspecting this was one of the
customary evasions, I informed them that unless he re-
turned by the next night they must pay me (which they
eventually did) or lose their "claim." The party next
to them had procured about 31b. or 41b. of gold from one
hole of about, 16 feet by 20, and were taking daily from
3oz. to 60z.; with'this exception, all the "claims" were
newly opened, and it was expected they would prove
very rich, which was subsequently found to be the case.
Here again is a scene of much beauty ; in front of the
small flat on which the diggers' tents are pitched, is a
large and deep pool or hole, from the further eds.% of
which rises a precipice of some 200 feet ; on the digging
side, as usual, we have the sloping bank falling gradually
from the mountain, which here receded a little from the
river—the rock opposite is composed of reddish slate
intersected with veins of quartz. After my work
was done and I had measured out each claim of 15
feet, I returned to our camp for something to eat. The
pots were already boiling, and as the bush method of
making tea is new to my readers I will describe it. As
soon as the quart pots boil, a good large pinch of tea is
' thrown into each ; it is then taken off the fire and the
pannikin (a smaller pot) covers the tea and keeps in the
steam. After drawing for some time the sugar is put in
and the tea poured backwards and forwards from the
pot to the pannikin until the sugar is dissolved ; the
leaves will now sink, and in a few minutes the grateful
beverage may be poured out quite clear. This process
may, to some of our English tea-drinking ladies, who
pride themselves on their china and tea services, seem a
very rough and incomplete one, but I can assure them
I never tasted such good tea from any other method,
and did they but once try it they would often long for
the bushman's simple quart pot of tea. In the evening
the man whom I had warned off the ground came up
and paid his license. He told me he had made 1,400/.
by gold digging, and yet he "would not have paid could
he have helped it." How constant is the cry that the
license is too high ; but I maintain that if it were re-
duced even to ss. the attempts at evasion would be
the same. The idea that to rob the Government is
no crime, I regret to say, prevails to a great ex-
tent, even among respectable persons, and it is to the
want of proper feeling on this point I attribute the at-
tempts which are repeatedly made to evade payment of
what is erroneously denominated an unjust tax. How
can it be a tax when it is optional whether parties dig
or not ? Of course, if they dig, knowing the regulations,
they must submit to pay, but the Government does not
force any one to the occupation for the pursuit of which
a license is required. After demolishing our supper,
which consisted of tea, bacon, and damper, I borrowed
a fishing-line from one of the diggers, and, having pro-
cured grubs from the swamp-oak trees, commenced fishing,
it being now just sun-down and the best time for the
sport. I soon pulled up a good cod of about 41b. weight,
and subsequently two of smaller dimensions, which I re-
served for breakfast. We saw several wallabys running
about on the precipice opposite and fired ineffectually at
one or two, the distance being too great. The wallaby
is a species of kangaroo, only much smaller; when kept
sufficiently long and properly dressed it is nearly as good
as hare. Night coming on we laid out our opossum rugs,
placed our' saddles for pillows, our arms at hand, and
turned in. Sleeping in the bush in summer time is a very
slight hardship, except in wet weather, and then it is
anything but pleasant. In the morning, after a bathe
in the water-hole and a good breakfast of fried fish, I
started up the river, leaving one of the men to mind the
camp. I found but few digging, and after going up about
seven miles, I was obliged to return, the banks becoming
too precipitous on both sides to allow the horses to travel.
During our ride of seven miles we forded the river no
less than 12 times each way; and in some of the places
had much difficulty in passing, owing to the rocks which
encumber the bed of the stream. From a man whom I
knew I received some information of several persons
digging at a place which they had named Golden Gully,
distanced some eight miles from the junction of the
Turon. I determined to start in the morning for
this spot. During my trip up the river many fresh
parties had arrived, and before I left the ground the
whole " point" was apportioned out in " claims."
There are many other points in this vicinity which
will turn out equally rich. Fished again, but no
sport. Procured a wallaby, which one of my men shot
with his carbine. Had some of it for breakfast the
following morning. I then started for, the " Golden
Gully." Had a dreadful drag up a range fully three
miles long out out of the valley of the Turon, and then
over a flat and tolerably good country, coming suddenly
upon the head of a small creek, where I surprised about
40 diggers. They were rather astonished to see me, but
had not time to escape. Collected their licenses, and
found that some were doing very well. The whole of
this part of the country contains gold. Take a tin dish
full of earth from any part of the hills, and you will,
on washing it, find specks. They are digging at the
head of the creek, in a sort of flat, where there are two
or three wate-holes. This creek increases in size as
you go down, and finally becomes a rocky water-course,
running into the Macquarie river. From Golden Gully
I went on about four miles to a place called in Australian
phraseology, "the Dirt Hole," where I found about 150
men, but ono of the other commissioners had already been
there, and collected most of the licenses. I, however,
obtained a few from new comers and skulkers. This has
been an exceedingly rich spot, many parties having pro-
cured as much as 16 or 17 ounces of gold per day. The
gold is different from that procured at any other place,
being nearly round like shot, and generally about the
size of number 8. It does not appear to be much
water-worn. In many places at these diggings they
have driven a tunnel into the bank, shoring it up with
timber, and some of these tunnels proved very rich.
The gold is found "in whitish looking clay, almost like
pipeclay ; it is very difficult to wash, as it does not
readily dissolve in the hopper. There are two stores
here and plenty of tents, but the water being of the
colour and consistence of whitewash and the grass sour
(these diggings being on very high ground) I returned
about 3 niiles on my road and camped at the Tambaroura
creek, where we had good grass and capital water.
During the night, hearing my terrier growl, I raised
myself from the blankets and saw three men, each leading
a packhorse. I thought they were diggers travelling by
night to avoid the heat, but I afterwards, on my return
to the Turon, discovered they were " sly grog-sellers,"
who reached the river soon after my arrival, and
hearing I was somewhere in the neighbourhood, they
went on in the night to avoid me, nearly running into
the lion's mouth. What a pity I did not know of it,

We believe here is no general desire for any
such display as has been suggested, and that the
unwillingness proceeds in no way from want of
religious feeling. Indeed, so terrible and mysterious
a visitation as cholera must excite serious emotions
in any but the most callous heart. But it is one
thing to entertain feelings of awe and humiliation,
and another to make an official . display of ostenta-
tious abasement, and to interrupt those necessary
duties the performance of which is piety, in order
to gratify the fancies of a few and furnish a sub-
ject for the tumid declamation of the pulpit. It is
well that an official personage has had the courage
to speak out on the matter, for it is one on which
there is apt to be much timidity. There is a species
of terrorism exercised by the demagogues of the
religious world. Men yielding to none in blame-
lessness of life and high sense of duty are kept in
awe by those who have made an investment in
holiness, and set up in business with piety for a
stock in trade. Every one knows the popular
preacher. His meekly arrogant countenance is in
every printshop of his district, and his Babylon
or Bethlehem is in its twentieth thousand. No
man succeeds better in life. He has gained the
reputation of a saint by depicting his own un-
worthiness, is asked out to dinner for preaching
abstinence to the poor, and doubles his income by
his vehemence against filthy lucre. The fair
sex overwhelm him with those productions in
silk and worsted which are the usual tokens of
their regard. He has enough ottomans for a Pasha,
and enough slippers for a centipede. Mothers con-
sult him as to the marriage of their daughters, and
learn from him to consider their husbands and sons
as unregenerate. These are the persons from whom
the demand comes for these spiritual vagaries.
