There are good many people on this river from the Hodgkinson and also from Cairns on account of the new track that has been found from the Hodgkinson to the coast. On travelling through this part I found no Bunya turpentine nor pine. Pea Bean in great quantities. The Aboriginals are numerous. Six of them have been shot near the coast and within two miles of the township which make it very dangerous to travel alone in this part. There are not any timber-getters in this part as yet.
