Ascending the hill close to the camp, I saw a very extensive range, and took a fine round of angles.

The compass is useless on these hills, as they are composed of micaceous iron ore, with brown hematite, which is very magnetic.

To the east a line of high, remarkable ranges extend, running eastwards, which I have named the Robinson Range, after his Excellency Governor Robinson.

One of the highest points I named Mount Fraser, after the Honourable Commissioner of Crown Lands, from whom I received much assistance and consideration, and who has aided the expedition in every possible way; the other highest point, Mount Padbury, after Mr.W.Padbury, a contributor to the Expedition Fund.

The river could be traced for thirty miles by the line of white gums, while to the south long lines of white gums could also be seen.
