We are very fortunate to have a little rain-water, or we could not get ahead.
2nd.
Steered towards the range seen yesterday a little south of east, and, after going twelve miles, my horse completely gave in, Mission doing the same also.

I had hard work to get them along, and at last they would not walk.

I gave them a rest and then drove them before me, following Windich till we reached the range.

Found a little water in a gully, but no feed.
Spinifex all the way to-day; most wretched country.

We ascended the range, and the country ahead looks first-rate; high ranges to the North-East, and apparently not so much spinifex.
