Killarney

Killarney was a permanent outstation of Canning Downs, located near the south-east boundary of the Canning Downs run and near the present town of the same name. The two men – possibly Martens himself and one of the Leslies – look up the valley of the Condamine River towards its source in the Great Dividing Range.
