Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
147/237

I have since learnt that these ranges were seen by Mr.Giles, and were named the Warburton Ranges.
SIGNS OF WHITE MEN.
8th.
Early this morning Windich and I went on foot to search the hills and gullies close around, as our horses were knocked up for want of water.

We returned unsuccessful about 8 o'clock.

Close to where we found our horses we found a tree with the bark cut off one side of it with an AXE which was sharp.

We were sure it was done by a white man, as the axe, even if possessed by a native (which is very improbable), would be blunt.

We are now in the country traversed by Mr.Gosse, although I am unable to distinguish any of the features of the country, not having a map with me, and not knowing the latitude.
