Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia with Descriptions of the recently explored Region of Australia Felix and of the present Colony of New South Wales. By Major T.L. Mitchell, -The first of the three expeditions narrated in these volumes had its origin in the account given of the interior by a runaway convict, named George Clarke, commonly called the Barber, who had lived some time among the natives and had adopted their customs. He went naked like them, was painted black, had his body deeply scarified, and was usually attended by two aboriginal females. Thus disguised as a native, he organized a system of cattie stealing on Liverpool plains, which had increased to an alarming extent before he was captured by the police. After this man was taken into custody, (relates our author,)he gave a circumstantial detail of his travels to the north-west, along the bank of a large river, named, as he said, the' Kindur;'1 by following which in a S.W. direction he had twice reached the sea shore, lie described the tribes inhabiting the banks of the ' Kindur,' and gave the names of their chiefs. He had first crossed the vast plains named Balyran and, on approaching the sea, he had seen a burning mountain named 'Courada.' He described, with great apparent accuracy, the courses of the known streams of the northern interior, which united, as he stated, in the * Nammoy,' a river first mentioned by him, and, according to his testimony, Peel's river entered the 'Nammoy,' by flowing westward from where Mr. Oxley had crossed it." This story had enough of consistency in it to gain attention ; and, owing to the eagerness with which we lean towards every object of curiosity, was even considered trustworthy; and Major Mitchell received orders to proceed in search of the great River Kindur. He started from Sydney on the 21th of November, 1831, having a distance of !!00 miles northwards to travel before he quitted the precincts of civilized man.
