[Explorations in Australia by John Forrest]@TWC D-Link bookExplorations in Australia CHAPTER 5 111/237
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.
