printed in ink on support reverse c.: VIEWS OF VICTORIA. / (GENERAL SERIES.) / No. 52. / THE ERSKINE RIVER WATERFALL. / The River Erskine, which empties itself in Loutitt Bay, is noted for the grandeur of its scenery. Its sources, / owing to the impenetrability of the bush and the mountainous nature of the country, are unknown. They may / eventually be traced a long way into the Cape Otway Ranges. An idea of the difficulty with which the present / very beautiful illustration was obtained may be gained from the fact that it took our assistants several days / to convey the apparatus a distance of six miles and back. The depth of the fall is 150 feet. The foilage as seen / comprises the very rare staghorn tree, the myrtle, the dogwood tree, and ferns.
