Explorations in Australia

CHAPTER 3
58/84

We found a little water for our horses in rock holes.
Returning, we reached camp on June 22nd.

On the 23rd we were engaged making preparations for a start for Eucla.

In looking round camp, Tommy Windich found the shoulder-blade of a horse and two small pieces of leather belonging to a packsaddle.

The shoulder-blade is no doubt the remains of the horse Mr.Eyre was obliged to kill for food at this spot.
On June 24th started for Eucla, carrying, as before, over thirty gallons of water, and walking in turns.

On the 25th found on the top of the cliffs a large rock hole, containing sufficient water to give the horses as much as they required, and on the 26th were equally fortunate.
