Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 3
36/84

Although the horses are still very thirsty, they are much relieved, and are willing to feed.

We all felt tired from long, weary, and continued walking.

By meridian altitude of Arcturus, camp is in latitude 32 degrees 13 minutes South, and longitude 125 degrees 51 minutes East.
12th (Sunday).
After giving the horses the little water found by Tommy last evening, we struck a little to the south of east over generally grassy country, slightly undulating for three miles, when, being in advance, walking, I found a large water-hole with about 100 gallons of water in it.

It being Sunday, and men and horses very tired, I halted for the day, as there was most luxuriant feed round camp.

Our horses soon finished the water, and looked much better after it.
