2/46

We travelled about seven miles and a half, and crossed three good sized creeks, joining the Lynd from the north east.

The river divided several times into anabranches, flowing round, and insulating rocky hills and ridges.

It was much better supplied with water, and contained several large reedy lagoons.

An elegant Acacia, about thirty or thirty-five feet high, grew on its small flats: it had large drooping glaucous bipinnate leaves, long broad pods, and oval seeds, half black, and half bright red.

The first three miles were very tolerable, over limited box-flats near the river.
