Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 3
53/84

Far as the eye could reach to the westward the Roe Plains and Hampton Range were visible; while to the eastward lay Wilson's Bluff and the Delissier sand-hills; and three miles west of them we were delighted to behold the good schooner Adur, riding safely at anchor in Eucla harbour, which formed by no means the least pleasing feature of the scene to our little band of weary travellers.
Made at once for the vessel, and, on reaching her, found all well and glad to see us.

She was anchored between the Red and Black Beacons.

The latter had been blown down, but shall be re-erected.

There being no water at the anchorage, moved on to the Delissier sand-hills, where we found water by digging two and a half feet from the surface.

Camped on west side of the sand-hills.
