Description

A wide panoramic view from high ground over a bay on the left, its water flat and dark. Dry, scrubby hills and gullies fill the foreground and centre, with a flat coastal plain beyond and a line of mountains along the right horizon. A faint vertical seam marks where two prints are joined, and pale tracks may be roads across the slopes.

Rugged, eroded hills rise across the background, and dry scrub covers the slopes in the foreground, where a single tree stands at lower right and faint tracks cross the ground.
