By the 5th of April we had reached Kojonup, travelling in a north-easterly direction, and then rested four days, leaving for Jerramungup on the 9th, and reaching it on the 13th.

Our first day's journey brought us to Mr.Graham's homestead, near which we bivouacked; thence our route lay in an easterly direction, at first through good grassy country with jam and white gum trees and shea oaks, by way of Etticup, Martinup (where we bivouacked on the night of the 10th), and Nigalup, beyond which were scrubby sand-plains extending southwards towards the Stirling range.

On the following night we camped near some granite rocks.

The next day's journey extended to Koorarkup, where we again rested.

Our rate of travel was from twenty to twenty-five miles a day, and already we began to experience inconvenience from want of water.
