Followed up the Kennedy Creek, bearing North-North-East and North for about seven miles, passing a number of shallow pools, when we came to some splendid springs, which I named the Windich Springs, after my old and well-tried companion Tommy Windich, who has now been on three exploring expeditions with me.

They are the best springs I have ever seen--flags in the bed of the river, and pools twelve feet deep and twenty chains long--a splendid place for water.

We therefore camped, and found another spot equally good a quarter of a mile west of camp in another branch.

There is a most magnificent supply of water and feed--almost unlimited and permanent.
