EUNGELLA RANGE.
During the recent holiday season a large number of people took the opportunity to visit Eungella Range and were loud in their praises of the climate and the magnificent scenery which exits on the top of the range, also the beautiful panoramic view to be obtained from any one of the several lookouts in the vicinity. Weekends also are utilised to visit this charming spot, which appears to become increasingly popular. Last Sunday over 70 motor cars passed through Mirani, and many of them found their way to the Range. The picturesquenss of Eungella is, however, fast disappearing in parts, due to the manner in which visitors are allowed to interfere with the ferns, staghorns, &c., with the result that by the time the tourist traffic of Mackay has become developed the natural beauties of Eungella will have been spoiled.

The Cyclone at Mackay.
BREACH IN THE EAST POINT SPIT.
COLLAPSE OF SANDY CREEK BRIDGE.
[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
MACKAY, February 7.
The men at the Pilot Station report that a breach has been made in the East Point Spit, 150ft. wide, by the recent cyclone. The current is running through, and it is thought that part of the stone retaining wall has been washed away.
A report has been received of the collapse of the Sandy Creek Bridge at 9.30 yesterday morning. The bridge was repaired last year, four new spans and new cylinders being put in. Three of the new spans have been swept away, and are now lying two chains below the bridge. When the bridge collapsed the water was 9in. over the handrail. The northern approach to the Sydney-street Bridge further collapsed during the night, when two cyclinders subsided, and all the others are more
