At eighteen we turned the horses out for an hour on a burnt patch, during which the thermometer stood at 94 degrees in the shade; we then left for some ridges through a small gap or pass between two hills, which formed into a small creek-channel.

As it was now dark, we camped near the pass, without water, having travelled thirty-five miles.

In the morning we found the country in front of us to consist of a small well grassed plain, which was as green, as at the last camp.

The horses rambled in search of water up into a small gully, which joins this one; it had a few gum-trees on it.

We saw a place where the natives had dug for water, but not very recently.
