23,000 SQUARE MILES OF THE FINEST GRAZING COUNTRY IN AUSTRALIA, By Auction, In Melbourne, in suitable lots. POWERS, RUTHERFORD, & CO. have been instructed by Messrs. Roderick Travers and A. W. Sergison to offer by public auction, at their rooms, No. 79, Collins-street, west, Melbourne, on Tuesday, 13th August next, at 2 o’clock p.m.— About 23,000 square miles of first-class grazing country, being the pick of the Northern Territory of South Australia, carefully selected by Mr. Sergison during his four years’ residence and explorations of that district. The country is generally open, with no scrub, but very extensive plains highly timbered and open downs, the whole richly grassed, in addition to numerous kinds of herbs, vetches, and saltbush. Everywhere the country is watered by running creeks and large rivers, perfectly fresh and navigable by large vessels for some distance, and is easily traversed. The soil on the rivers is principally a red loam near the mouth, with chocolate and black soil as you ascend to the plains. The climate is cool and healthy, and the principal towns are Palmerston and Southport (which is distant only 60 miles), whence the teams start with loading for the numerous goldfields. The main road, which runs by the telegraph line to Adelaide, is improved and everywhere bridged by Government, and a railroad of 150 miles long is now being surveyed from Southport, as a commencement of the transcontinental line. The Pastoral Land Law is exceedingly liberal, being 6d. per square mile for the first 10 years, and three years to stock. Constant steam communication is kept up between Port Darwin, India, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, and the overland telegraph line passes through this country now offered. . Independent of the southern markets, India alone and the islands would absorb an unlimited quantity of cattle, sheep, and horses, and the facilities for shipment are great, as there would be numerous porta available at short distances. Large numbers of sheep, cattle, and horses are already ou the way to this district, and Mr. Travers has started from his Aramao Station 1000 head of cattle to commence stocking some of the blocks. This magnificent grazing country will bo offered by auction in suitable blocks; but meantime application can bo made to the auctioneers, who are prepared to treat privately, and will show plans and supply the fullest .information to intending purchasers.
