Left two pack-saddle bags hanging on a tree.
June 1st.
Barometer 28.38; thermometer 45 degrees at 8 a.m.In collecting the horses we came on an old native camp, and found the skull of a native, much charred, evidently the remains of one who had been eaten.

Continued on about North-East along a grassy flat, and at five miles passed some clay-pans of water, after which we encountered spinifex, which continued for fifteen miles, when we got to a rocky range, covered with more spinifex.

Myself and Windich were in advance, and after reaching the range we followed down a flat about North for six miles, when it joined another large water-course, both trending North-North-West and North-West.

We followed down this river for about seven miles, in hopes of finding water, without success.

Night was fast approaching, and I struck north for four miles to a range, on reaching which the prospect was very poor; it proved to be a succession of spinifex sand-hills, and no better country was in view to the North-East and East.
