[Explorations in Australia by John Forrest]@TWC D-Link bookExplorations in Australia CHAPTER 5 32/237
I believe the river does not go more than twenty miles from here, it being now very small.
Found a nice pool of water and camped.
Barometer 28.48; thermometer 68 degrees at half-past five o'clock. THE DRY SEASON. 10th (Sunday). Went with Windich south about eight miles to a low range, which I rightly anticipated would be a watershed.
Could see a long line of white gums; believe there may be a river to the south, or it may be the salt branch of the Murchison.
Returned to camp at two o'clock; plotted up track. Barometer 28.52; thermometer 69 degrees at 6 p.m.Mount Fraser bears North 328 degrees East magnetic from camp, which is in latitude 25 degrees 51 minutes 46 seconds, longitude about 118 degrees 30 minutes East.
