The Hunter is likewise both historical and remarkable. The valley drained by the Hunter forms a long indent in the margin of the great plateau, and, unlike the Hawkes- bury, the ascent therefrom is easy and practicable*. It was a noteworthy incident in our history that when the ...'"Lady Nelson" was examining and surveying the river, she had on board, engaged in charting it, three men v/ho had attempted the passage of the Blue Mounta-ins and been forced back — Paterson, Banailliere and Cayley. [f theiy had but known it at the time that the river they were then surveying would have led them through a smiling valley up an eas)'- ascent to the soug'ht-for land, a chapceir of our histoi'y would have been forestalled.
