Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
196/237

When we had watered half of the horses, Windich came, having found great pools of water in a large rocky gully about a mile west; we therefore packed up again and went over to the water.

It was a very rough and rocky gully, and the horses had hard work in getting up to it, but there was abundance when they reached it.
Pools of water, rock bottom; in fact, rock reservoirs, and fed by springs.

It was nearly night when we had finished watering.

Windich shot four ducks.

Found camp to be in latitude 28 degrees 8 minutes South.
Marked a tree F 83, being 83rd camp from Geraldton.
ANOTHER ENCOUNTER WITH NATIVES.
3rd.
Got a late start, owing to the horses rambling.
