PLOT c/SX4W-D0 · version 1

The writer describes cuttings near the Kororoit Creek through basalt with black clay soil and through shell-beds, a quarter of a mile from the shore.

If the railway line be followed for a very short distance from the creek two small cuttings will be seen, the first through basalt, with its typical black clay soil, whilst the second displays a good section of the sandy shell-beds. This section is about two and a half miles from the North Williamstown station and about a quarter of a mile from the present shore line. Historical passage
