Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
133/237

30th.
Very thick fog this morning.

We bore north for four or five miles, and then South-East for about five miles, when we got a fine view to the east, and could see some hills, which are no doubt near Mr.Gosse's farthest west.

They bore South-East about eighteen miles distant.

I could not go on to them, as I was afraid the party would be following us, on the strength of the little rain we had the night before last.
Reluctantly, therefore, we turned westward, and soon after came to an old native encampment with a rock hole quite dry, which would hold 1000 gallons if full.
