, no doubt, be made at Adelaide; from thence to the point in question is about 600 miles, and from this point to the fine country, Ostaa Halpa Nike Air Max 2015 Miehet a little beyond the tropic, is 700 miles, which together make a journey of 1300 miles. Now a line directly north from Adelaide, through Mount Arden, to the point where it crosses the former in the fine country, is only 800 miles, making Maillot Bolivie Pas CHer a saving, therefore, of 500 miles, which is of no little importance in such a country as Australia.
“But Mr. Sturt assigns reasons for supposing that a range of mountains will be found about the 29th parallel of Winnipeg Jets Drakter latitude, and Mr. Eyre, whilst exploring the Lake he discovered to Maillot Pologne Pas CHer the northward of the Gulf of St. Vincent, Adelaide, notices mountains to the N.E., in about the latitude of Chicago Bears Barn 28 degrees. Supposing, then, a range of mountains to exist about that parallel, Maillot Espagne Pas CHer their direction will probably be found to run from N.E. to S.W., which is that generally of the river Darling and its branches; and in this case it may reasonably be concluded that these mountains form the division of the waters, and that all the branches of the several rivers (some of them of considerable magnitude) which have been known to fall into the bays and gulfs on the W. and N.W. coasts, between the parallels of 14 degrees and 21 degrees, have their sources on Calgary Flames Drakter the northern side of this range of mountains; but, even if no such range exists, it is pretty evident, from what we know of the southern rivers, adjuncts chiefly of the Darling, that somewhere about the latitudes of 28 degrees or 29 degrees the surface rises to a sufficient height to cause a division of the waters, those on the northern side taking a northerly direction, and those on the southern side a southerly one.
“To ascertain this point is worthy of a practical experiment in a geographical point of view, as the knowledge of the direction that mountains and rivers take, the bones and blood vessels of bodies terrestrial give us at least a picture of the body of that skeleton. To these Mr. Sturt will no doubt direc |
