An expedition which I am about to send out along the shores of the Great Australian Bight will, I hope, not only open up com- munications with South Australia, and add to our geographical knowledge, but may also result in extending the area of pastoral enterprise. A con- siderable amount of wheat of remarkably good quality is grown in Western Australia, which possesses some fine agricultural districts ; the crops generally are light, but that is owing to over-cropping and slovenly farming. It i...s to be regretted that more attention is not paid to fruit- and wine-growing ; this is essentially the land of the olive and vine. The Western Australian wines are, as a rule, carelessly and unscientifically made, but as far as I can judge they seem to possess many of the characteristics of the Spanish and Sicilian wines, and they are found to contain a larger proportion of alcohol than the wines of other Australian colonies. :
