[Explorations in Australia by John Forrest]@TWC D-Link bookExplorations in Australia CHAPTER 5 222/237
Marked a tree F 97, being 97th camp from Geraldton.
Latitude 26 degrees 44 minutes 19 seconds, longitude about 133 degrees 47 minutes East. 21st. Continued down the Alberga about South-East for about twenty miles, over sandy country thickly wooded with mulga and acacia, to Mr.Gosse's bivouac of December 1st, but there was scarcely any water by digging.
We therefore pushed on and found a native well, from which, by digging out about five feet, we procured abundance of water.
Sweeney still very unwell, unable to walk; others walking in turns.
Distance twenty-five miles. 22nd. The horses rambled back on the tracks about three miles, and it was eight o'clock before we got started.
