An invitation from the manager of Torilla Plains Station to spend a few days with him observing waterfowl during the breeding season was hailed with delight. I left home 4th March. A ride for a day and a half brought me to Wowan, the present terminus of the newly-opened Dawson Valley railway. Wowan is said to be one of the native names of the Brush-Turkey (Catheturus lathami). A train ride of about two hours brought me to Mount Morgan, the celebrated mining town, which is scattered over a large area of rough and rocky ridges at the source of the Dee River. Here we changed trains, and, after descending the famous Razorback.
