Explorations 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.
