Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 2
45/68

After resting an hour, in order to make a damper and give the horses a little of the feed, which only grew sparingly on the banks of the brook, we continued our journey towards camp.

Passing Mount Flora, we camped about eight miles farther onwards, near a small patch of feed, without water, about a mile north of our outward track.
26th.
Started at dawn, and reached our bivouac of the 23rd.

There obtained just sufficient water for ourselves and the horses.

Continuing, we found a fine pool of rain-water in a brook a mile and a half west of Mount Malcolm, and, reaching camp an hour after dark, found all well.

On our way Tommy Windich shot a red kangaroo, which we carried to camp.
27th (Sunday).
Rested at camp.
