The horses inclined to ramble.

Shot two ducks which were in one of the pools, and two wurrungs, which were very acceptable, being now altogether without meat.

Latitude 26 degrees 9 minutes 50 seconds.

Grassy gorge on our route to-day.
11th.
We got up long before daylight, intending to get an early start, and reach Whittell's Creek, but two of the horses were missing, and it was after eight o'clock when Windich returned with them.

We, however, started, and steering easterly through dense acacia thickets without grass for about thirty miles, we reached the creek, and found plenty of water by digging in the sand.
