Abstract: When Major Mitchell, who had seen something of irrigation while campaigning in the Peninsula, was making his memorable exploratory journey from the Lachlan to Portland, he gazed on the vast expanse of fertile plains in the vicinity of Mount Hope, and remarked on the possibility of it being irrigated, at some future time, with the waters of the River Murray.
