London. — Australian. The Colonial Times states — "'We -have received information of considerable importance to our stock proprietors. A person recently returned from a tour in the interior states, that there is a parallelogram of twenty miles by ten of the finest ojfen land^ close to a fine lake about twelve miles south of the Macquarie Harbour, River Gordon, in the centre of which is the source of the Huon. It abounds with grass, and is abundantly watered."
