CHAPTER 5

Shall leave here with twelve pack-horses, and three running loose and two riding, besides the two that are on flying trip.
Barometer 28.59 thermometer 69 degrees at 5 p.m.
10th.
Finished repairs and got everything ready for a good start to-morrow morning, when we will follow my brother's and Pierre's tracks.

Cloudy day, but barometer does not fall.

Marked a tree F 59, being our 59th bivouac from Geraldton.

Hung up on the same tree four pack-bags and one pack-saddle frame.

Barometer 28.56; thermometer 74 degrees at 5 p.m.
Tommy Windich shot a red kangaroo this afternoon, and also found a fine rock water-hole about one mile North-East of camp.
11th.
Followed on the tracks of my brother and Pierre, south seven miles to a rough broken range--spinifex and rough grass all the way.
