Source-grounded excerpt

ith the utmost impunity — that is, they have no fear of meeting with hostile tribes during such journeyings, and even although they have •difficulty enough at these times in procuring a sufficiency of food, still they like the vast and arid desert, because of the immunity they enjoy there from the everlasting bodily terror which continually preys upon their spirits in less remote •districts, keeping them awake at night, or colouring their -dreams with no pleasant lines, when " tired nature's sweet restorer" weighs down their eyelids. In the very barrenest portion of the barren Mallee Scrub there is a considerable depression or dry.

The excerpt is presented as public-source context. Terminology belongs to the cited source and may be historical, contested, culturally specific, or outdated.
