I named this spring Wilkie Spring, after the Honourable Dr.
Wilkie, the honorary treasurer of the Burke and Wills Exploration Fund, who took such a lively interest in Australian Exploration.
28th.
Continued on eastward and soon struck Mr.Gosse's cart-track.

Followed it along about seven miles, passing Mount Davies, when we bore more to the south.

Following the direction of some natives' tracks, and after going about two miles, found a native well in a gully, where water could be procured by digging.

Left a note telling my brother to dig it out and see if he could get enough for the horses.

We continued on about East-North-East, and soon after shot a kangaroo and rested an hour for dinner, after which we bore about North-East towards a gully and white gums, and found it to be Nilens Gully of Mr.Gosse.Found his camp and a white gum marked with a broad arrow, but no water.
