We continued on about east for eight miles to a high flat-topped hill, when we got a view of the country ahead and turned about North-East towards some flats, and at about eight miles camped on a grassy plain, with some small clay-pans of water.

Splendid feeding country all along this valley--I may say for the last 100 miles.

Heard a number of natives cooeying above our camp, but did not see them.
Barometer 28.37; thermometer 68 degrees at six o'clock p.m.; latitude 25 degrees 51 minutes South by meridian altitude of Jupiter.
12th.
Started East-North-East for four miles, then north three miles to the range, where we searched over an hour for water without success.

We then travelled South-East for five miles and south one mile and a half to a water-hole in a brook, by digging out which we got abundance of water.
About a quarter of a mile farther down the brook found a large pool of water and shot six ducks.

As soon as we unloaded, it commenced to rain, and kept on steadily till midnight.
