A fine range of hills bore north-west from the springs, which I named Carnarvon Range, after the Right Honourable the present Secretary of State for the Colonies.

The hills looked very remarkable, being covered with spinifex almost to their very summit.

We shot five ducks and got three opossums this afternoon, besides doing some shoeing.

There is an immense clump of white gums at head of spring.

Barometer 28.34; thermometer 46 degrees at 11 p.m.
