By a half hour’s walk to the Wallabee ground or a ten minutes row to Sandy Island, and putting your dogs into the cover, you will seldom have to wait long for a shot, the kangaroos brushing out into the open ground and perching themselves up in a listening attitude, hearkening to the bay of the dogs, giving you time to take a deliberate aim and tumble them over.

Details:
I had frequently inquired of intelligent settlers residing on one or other of the three rivers in the district of Hunters River, what the native names of these rivers were; and I confess I was not a little surprised to find that none of them had ever had the curiosity to ascertain them, or could give me any information on the subject. I happened, however, when riding alone in the district one day, many years ago, to overtake a solitary black native, who was travelling in the same direction, and whose name, he told me, was Wallaby Joe—a name which had probably been given him by some of the convict-servants of the neighbouring settlers. I found him rather an intelligent and somewhat communicative personage; for, on asking him, among a variety of other questions bearing on the native mythology, the native names of the three rivers, he immediately told me that the main, or Hunters River was called Coquun; the first branch, or Williams River, Dooribang; and the second, or Pattersons River, Yimmang.
