We estimated our distance from the boats, having carefully timed ourselves each march, at 23 miles; 10 in an east, general direction, and 13 North-East by North.
November 10.
We pushed onwards in the cool of the morning, taking a South 20 degrees West direction, for three miles, crossing the eastern part of the flat to which we yesterday gave the name of Thirsty Flat, and found the soil a light mould, covered with long dry grass.

This brought us to a bend in the river, trending in rather a tortuous manner east, and passing through a wide valley, with table ranges, varying from 5 to 600 feet on either side.

Towards their summits there were perpendicular cliffs of some 30 or 40 feet, similar to the high land of Sea Range.

The country just here was so thickly wooded that I was obliged to climb a tree in order to get the bearings.

We noticed some very curious black horizontal streaks on the hills in our immediate vicinity.
