The colonist, with his herds and his flocks, leaves the Snowy Mountains, and, descending into the plain, there finds a plentiful and wholesome supply of food for the animals ; while troops of the tall ostrich and the wandering antelope, driven also from the heights, share the repast, and enliven the scene.
