Latitude 24 degrees 55 minutes 19 seconds South.
AT WELD SPRINGS.
2nd.
Early this morning went with Pierre to look for water, while my brother and Windich went on the same errand.

We followed up the brook about south for seven miles, when we left it and followed another branch about South-South-East, ascending which, Pierre drew my attention to swarms of birds, parroquets, etc., about half a mile ahead.

We hastened on, and to our delight found one of the best springs in the colony.

It ran down the gully for twenty chains, and is as clear and fresh as possible, while the supply is unlimited.

Overjoyed at our good fortune, we hastened back, and, finding that my brother and Windich had not returned, packed up and shifted over to the springs, leaving a note telling them the good news.
After reaching the springs we were soon joined by them.
