Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
185/237

To the east high ranges and grassy flats, but to the south, and from South-East to west, nothing but level country with a few low rises here and there, apparently sand-hills covered with spinifex--most miserable country.
27th.
Left camp with Tommy Windich to look for water ahead, instructing my brother to follow to-morrow.

Steered east for four miles, when we struck Mr.Gosse's cart-track.

Followed along it a few miles, when we bore more to the north; then in the direction of emu tracks, and passed along a fine grassy flat with hundreds of kangaroos in every direction; also many emu tracks.

We were sure we were getting close to water.

A little farther on saw about twenty-five emus, and soon reached a spring in the brook, and camped for dinner.
