Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
164/237

Steered East along the South side of a rocky range for ten miles, when we ascended a hill to get a view ahead.

About thirty miles to east fine bold ranges are visible, also broken ranges from North-East and round to South-East; they are no doubt the Cavanagh Ranges of Mr.Gosse.About five miles ahead we saw some granite rocks, to which we proceeded, and found a tremendous rock hole full of water; it was in between two large rocks and completely shaded from the sun.

As the country east to the ranges appears to be all spinifex and red sand-hills, I decided to remain here to-night and continue on in the morning.

Left a note telling my brother to camp here on Sunday night.

In the afternoon got a fine round of angles from granite rocks.
