CHAPTER 5
50/237

The marsh appears to follow along the south side of the range.

Barometer 28.38; thermometer 70 degrees at 5.30 p.m.; latitude 25 degrees 43 minutes 44 seconds by Arcturus.
26th.
Ascended the Frere Ranges and got a fine view to the north and east.

Fine high hills and ranges to the north; a salt marsh and low ranges to the east and South-East.

Continued on North-East for four miles, then North-North-West for three miles, passing plenty of water in clay-holes and clay-pans in bed of marsh, we camped at a fine pool in a large brook that runs into the marsh, which I called Kennedy Creek, after my companion James Kennedy.

The prospect ahead is very cheering, and I hope to find plenty of water and feed for the next 100 miles.
