- W143247989 abstract "On the pleasant drive from Bicheno to Swansea the traveller,after crossing over the spurs of [the range called Lyne'sSugar Loaf by the so-called cut, comes suddenly in viewof the large level tract of country lying south of the hills heis descending, and stretching from the hamlet of Cranbrookinwards towards the foot of the ranges which bound the St.Paul's Valley on the east. This tract is mainly formed by thecoast range, which fringes the shore from St. Patrick's Headto Bicheno, suddenly swerving inland at the latter place, andjoining the above-mentioned highlands east of the St. Paul'swhich lie at some distance from the East Coast. At thelatitude of Swansea the ranges approach the coast again, andthen follow the shore southwards. The level tract of countryhemmed in by these features is alluvial, and forms what maybe generally styled the basin of the Swan River, and itssmaller companion streams, the Cygnet and the Wye. On the estate of Cambria, which lies mainly atthe foot of the hill, locally called the Lookout, the soil isrich and of great depth ; and on that part of it lying betweenthe main road and the shores of Oyster Bay there is a lagoonof considerable extent, which seems in former times to havehad egress to the Meredith River by a watercourse nowextinct, but visible in the form of an ordinary sinuous depressionin the paddocks. Following the course of thisdepression a deep dyke has recently been cut by Mr.Meredith to drain the lagoon. In the shallowest part of theold watercourse this ditch attains a maximum depth of about 12feet, and it was at the bottom of it that the men employed inthe work came upon the log, lying transversely to the directionof the drain. It was so hard that they had considerabledifficulty in cutting it asunder with an axe, a fact which may easily be realised on inspecting the sample of wood whichaccompanies this note. It will be observed that the wood isalmost black, like the Irish bog oak, and exactly resemblesin texture a solid piece of ebony." @default.
