Lhotsky must have obtainedthese names from Aborigines, or per-haps his party was led through thecountry by an Aboriginal guide. He camped about where Delhck-nora is now, on the night of March11, 1834, and the next day, from avantage point to the west, saw MountDeddik — and farther a succession ofseven ranges of Mountains. Theseranges would have included MountSeldomseen (between the Snowy andBuchan rivers) and the NunniongPlateau beyond.
