Reached the party at seven o'clock.

There was a partial eclipse of the moon this evening.
24th.
There being splendid green feed around Mount Singleton, and as the horses were tired, I concluded to give them a day's rest.

Went, in company with Mr.Monger and Jemmy, to the summit of Mount Singleton, which took us an hour to ascend; but, on reaching it, we were well repaid for the trouble by the very extensive view and the many points to which I could take bearings.

Far as the eye could reach to the East and South-East were visible Lake Moore, Mount Churchman; to the north, conspicuous high trap ranges appeared; while to the west, within a radius of six miles, hills covered with flowers gave the country a pretty appearance.

Further to the west a dry salt lake and a few trap hills appeared.
