Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
124/237

Many tracks were seen, following mine and Windich's for several miles.

The party had not, however, seen any of them.

They were rejoiced to hear of the water ahead, and we steered for it, keeping to the west of our return route to search some cliffs on the way for water.

After travelling nine miles we camped without water, on a grassy flat close to some cliffs; most miserable spinifex country all day; this is the first grass seen.
Walked over twenty miles to-day myself.
20th.
Steered North-East straight for the water found on the 18th for fourteen miles; reached it and camped.

Found the horse Brick I left behind, and saddle, rug, etc., as we left them.
