Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
83/237

Latitude 25 degrees 22 minutes 50 seconds South, longitude about 121 degrees 57 minutes East.

Barometer 28.50; thermometer 62 degrees at 5 p.m.
22nd.
Left camp in company with Tommy Pierre, with a pack-horse carrying fifteen gallons of water.

Steered South-East for four miles, then east for about eight miles over fine grassy country, then South-East towards a high range about twenty-five miles distant.

After going about three miles, struck a flat trending South-South-East, which we followed down about four miles, passing two small clay-holes with water in them; then we struck South-East for four miles, and came to a large brook trending South-East, which we followed along until it lost itself on the plain about six miles.

Fine grassy country all the way, and game abundant.
There were a few gallons of water here and there in the brook, but none large enough to camp at.
