Report of Surveyor J. A. Hall to the District Surveyor, Perth, dated 16th January, 1914.
— — — —
Classification of the country between Mt. Ridley and Israelite Bay. Sir,—The classification was carried out with the traverse as a base, but owing to the time lost through having to run the line through dense thickets, I was not able to devote as much time to it as I had hoped. As I had to come a good way south to get a start from Location 364, the first 15 miles along the line was in very poor country, consisting of sand plain and open mallee with numerous salt lakes, which made a larger percentage of third class land than if I had started from Mt. Ridley and run east. I was advised in Esperance not to attempt to get through that way owing to the dense thickets and boggy lakes.
