Nets
Nets.
The nets made of this string are of various descriptions and patterns. Some are very closely netted, others have the mesh much larger and knotted, whilst others are not knotted, and consequently are very elastic. The size of the mesh is formed solely by the finger, and are wonderfully regular. In many parts of the interior very strong nets are made. These are used for the purpose of securing game, kangaroos, &c. Stretched across a creek or river, ducks are caught.
