CHAPTER 5

Windich shot a turkey.
MOUNTS BARTLE AND RUSSELL.
17th (Sunday).
The horses rambled far away, and it was noon before they were all collected.

Shifted three and a half miles north, where there was better feed and water.

Went on to a low hill on the north of our last night's camp, and got a fine view of the country to the south and south-east.

Two remarkable flat-topped hills bore South-East, which I named Mount Bartle and Mount Russell, after the distinguished President and Foreign Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society.

Saw a long line of white gums (colalyas) running East and West about ten miles distant, looking very much like a river.
