A fragment describing a rail journey from New South Wales toward Queensland. The writer notes limestone hills and granite country, mining activity near Jenninger and Stanthorpe, altitude changes on routes to Toowoomba, and growing towns like Allora Clifton and Toowoomba. Observations include crops, drought history, railway upgrades, and estate purchases by government. The narrator mentions a remedy and local sentiment about rail travel and settlement.
