Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 5
96/237

I hope to have better luck to-morrow.

We have found plenty of water, but no feed; this is better than having no water and plenty of feed.

We had one wurrung, four chockalotts, and three emu eggs, besides bread and bacon, for tea to-night, so we fared sumptuously.
July 1st.
Got off early and continued easterly to a low stony range three miles off, over spinifex sandy country.

Found a rock water-hole and gave our horses a drink.

Continuing about east to other ranges, which we followed along and through, and from range to range, spinifex intervening everywhere, and no feed, a few little drops of water in the gullies, but not sufficient for the party to camp at.
