And perhaps Captain Grey had only viewed the sandy banks of the inlet, without having passed into the interior, and seen the flats of the Brunswick, etc. There is a very great deal more of worthless than of good land at Australind, which is the case throughout the whole of New Holland, in the very best districts.
The last blow she has received was from the failure of the settlement at Australind; a subject that I intend to treat of in a separate chapter.
Clifton therefore remained at Australind with his party, and used every effort and exerted every energy to found a flourishing colony.
Surgeon of Fremantle Gaol: "We have almost a cloudless sky, a clear dry atmosphere, and a climate unsurpassed by any in the world." Dr. Ferguson, of Australind: "We have no fevers or epidemics here." By the Registrar-General's Report for 1843, it appears that the births in Western Australia are about 1 to 24 83/158, which is a very high rate.
A gentleman once informed me that he was riding up from Australind on a favourite and very fine horse, which he allowed to feed, during several hours of rest, on a spot where this plant unfortunately grew. On mounting to resume his journey, the horse seemed full of spirit; but he had not proceeded a mile before it stumbled, and was with difficulty kept from falling.
It became, therefore, inexpedient to maintain the expensive establishment of Commissioners, Secretaries, and Surveyors at Australind, who were accordingly conge'd without much ceremony; and the Western Australian Company, like the "unsubstantial pageant," or Port Grey itself, "melted into air, thin air," leaving "not a rack behind."
