[Explorations in Australia by John Forrest]@TWC D-Link bookExplorations in Australia CHAPTER 5 214/237
Weather dark and cloudy. 13th (Sunday). Continued on towards Figtree Gully, having to go a long way north in order to get round and through the ranges.
Most beautifully-grassed country all the way; by far the best-grassed country we have seen for months.
After travelling about nineteen miles we found water on some granite rocks, and camped on a very fine grassy flat.
Windich shot a large kangaroo, which was very acceptable. 14th. About 2 o'clock this afternoon we collected the horses, and travelled on to Figtree Gully about four miles, our horses first finishing all the water on the granite rocks.
We got enough at Figtree Gully to satisfy them, although there is not a great supply.
