A VISIT TO THE CRATER-LAKES OF WESTERN VICTORIA.
I DID not meet with anything more scientifically interesting in Australia than the crater-lakes of Western Victoria. They form a scenery quite novel and original, and are so exceedingly beautiful in their quiet and quaint setting of circular-sloping, well- wooded banks ; so placid — except when ruffled by a storm — and steely-grey in colour, that a true lover of nature is drawn to them by a peculiar fascination.
There is something pleasurably sad...dening in their unobtrusive loneliness. And yet, where these quiet and deep waters are now gathered together, there was once the discharge of volcanic artillery. The heavens above have been many a time red-lighted by the glow from these now cold-looking lakes, and streams of molten matter have issued as rivers of liquid stone from these very sites. The gradually-sloping banks of ashes and lava which surround these lakes, and which not unfrequently extend in undulating ridges from one crater-lake to another, have all alike been discharged from these now sealed-up, but formerly open and active, means of communication between the exterior and the interior of this part of our old planet Let us first take the two crater-lakes of Bullenmerri A VISIT TO THE CRATER-LAKES.
