Ferntreo Gully, it might safety . bo affirmed, Is
known all over the world. It I one of those romantic
tjiols, only one of which scorns to 1k> allotted to each
country, and which, hy it pietureaquunoifl and
tmlquonou, stands out pi-omhlQiitly heyund tlif ad
mired beauty spot of a colony or contluont.
This resort 1 known to the oldest Inhabitant n our
of tho bight of Victoria; It loveliness never palls on
the taste; it glories of spring mid summer, audits
grandeur of autumn and winter, cim never weary
thOiu who lwvo a love for Rip licautiful, whilst it
great altitude of 2U0<Jit nbovo eca level mark# It out
a tho health-ulvlng, bracing, recuperating, ami In
vigorating sanatorium of the colony
Within the last few year Ferntreo Gully has been
attracting the attention of capitalists and Juvoxtur.
Hitherto thousand of our population have resorted
to this lovely district, line the railway Hue In course
of construction, which will he oiwncd on tho 1st No
vember next, will enable ten# ot thousand# of tho
citizen of our crowded metropolis and it suburbs to
avail ihcmsclvcsof It pleasures, as tho timo occupied
by the railway journey wilt IiQabcmtfoftymliMitcsoidy.
Tliuiu Is no lovelier sprA in YlutorU tliuu fern
treo Gull), v.-hero 10,';U0 acres of land is rvsen-nl as a
State Forest, ami will no tloul-t bo eventually pro
claimed the National Park of Victoria, and wo cannot
better dbAcrllw It than reprint tho following extraots
froiu tho I'rcas . . . , .
From Tlio " Argus," 21th Moroh, 1S83.
Tho old name of Ferntreo Gully would probably bo
mora familiar tn most people hi. Melbourne and Vic
toria than tlio Dandeuoug Stole Forest. Tliov only
know the forest as Forntree Gully, and Ferntreo
Gully (9 all they.Luowof the forest. In u tittle while,
however, a good deal more will he known, and t.v a
good many more people. Tenders have been accepted
for tlio construction of a railway from Rlngwood, on
tiic Lllydale lino, to the mouth of tho gully, arid by
next Cup day the lino nhould be completed and f rains
running, and the y.m.u.a, might lobe it peoplo up
there and hide Ihotn for a while from tho cloud of
plcasantbhamc which overshadows nil tho rcit ut u#
about Hat time. But Ferntreo Guily Is no more
Dandenong State Forest than Collin# street is. Mel
bourne. It i# a cranny in tlio ride ot one of It hills—
nothing more What la tho forest ? 'l'ako tlie train
toOaklelgh or to Kcw, or take a horiu or a buggy
and ride right out along tho ' Daiidonoug road,
and whim you get past O.ikloigii turn luto the Kern-
tree Gully traok, ami you aiil see looming right
ahead ot you a barrier ot tiluo hUli. Not an escarp-
menfc such a tho eastern faco of our Main Divide
presents hi other latitudes; tho front hero H evldotilly-
acocssltdc The read' runs on over
Whceler'fl-hIR thence nonns the Drmrfcnong Creek,
and through the old township of the gully, and up
amongst the pleasant fcm-carpetcd, wrub-covcrod
moimtolnfeet to the crossing ol ttia Foruy Creek,
whore fa the alto of the terminus, and hy-and-by will
bo the township. The gully run right lip to tlio left
here, nnd the railway track comes along tho mountain
side on the upner side of the present road. Inero
is a fair track through the m»h to a little open
plateau called the " camping ground " known to
many thousand of people. - Beyond'
tld# plateau is lue track into tho gully, which every
body knows— tlio homo of the gigantic tree ferns
and innumerable liarttongues and staghorns, nnd
tittle delicate growths ot maidenhair and lvc-?po.

vicinity of Kow, at present used as a reserve for »n
unsightly and badly dentgncd lunatic noylurn, upon
tho removal of that structure, which cannot bo de

existing suburban pnrk# and gank-n# It would bo
valuable, but it Is located too uoar the city to consti
tute in aiiyroiison Nutlonnl Park. This should lie a
place accessible hy railway, but at sufficient distance
from the crowded haunt of commerce to insure its
continuous Isolation, Moreover, It should ;wsicm
