35 minutes, and in
long. 138 degrees 39 minutes. The valley of Cooper's Creek was, however,
bounded in by low quartzose hills, covered with sand. The general level
of the interior was otherwise ferruginous clay, on which the long sandy
doones or ridges rested, excepting where their regularity was broken by
flooded plains. The clay rested on sandstone, which, with a few
exceptions, where fossil tertiary limestone occurred, similar to that of
the Murray cliffs, was ferruginous sandstone, at the depth of two feet
and a half or three feet.
