As it is 4 oclock when we arrive at the Kangaroo Flat Station, we tarry there for the night, at Guns Hotel. Kangaroo is a small village a better looking place than we had imagined, from the name it bears. The days in which the wild beasts roamed over the plains are among the things of the past. Nearly all the way from Melbourne to Tarnagulla is settled . We passed through several fine Towns, and a number of gold mining districts and agricultural districts, the population of the latter is very thin and scattered, the farms are immensely large.
Wheat is the chief product.
We have heard of Italian skies, but can not imagine them brighter, clearer, or more beautiful than the skies of Sunny Australia. Arrived at Tarnagulla at 4 P. M. found a number of the brethren and Sisters at the parsonage who gave us a friendly welcome. Two of the Church members are fellow countrymen. I like them much. The bulk of the population of this colony are English.
