KING] May 21 .-- I went with Brown to reconnoitre the course of the creek, and to ascertain whether it flowed to the westward.

We soon found, however, that it turned to the north and north-east, and that it was still an eastern water.

As far as I followed it down, it formed the separation between the primitive rocks and the basalt, but received several creeks from the westward.

In riding along we heard the cooees of natives, and passed several large camping places near the large water-holes of the creek.

A Blackfellow emerged suddenly from the creek, holding a Casuarina branch in his hand, and pointing to the westward.
