meandering along its almost level surface.

March 20.

Camp 30, situated on the left bank of the Flinders River at the
north-west base of an isolated range bearing the following way from the
following ranges: one end of Frederick Walker's Table Mountain about
eight miles distant 2 degrees 36 minutes; the other end 2 degrees 23
minutes; a range about six miles distant 209 degrees; a little isolated
hill 193 degrees; north-west end of a table range about five miles
distant 189 degrees; north-west end of a table range about two miles
distant 174 degrees; south-east end 149 degrees. This morning I was glad
to find that Gleeson and Jemmy had recovered sufficiently to start on the
journey. We started at 10.12. After crossing the river we followed it up
on its opposite bank in an east direction for one and a half miles and
crossed it at the end of the range on the left bank. We then followed up
a creek I named Jardine's Creek in a north-east and east direction for
five miles and encamped. From camp Fisherman and I went west-north-west
for two miles and a half to the top of a range bearing as described from
the following ranges: a distant conical range (probably the one observed
from near 27 Camp) 3 degrees 48 minutes; the end of Frederick Walker's
Table Mountain 245 degrees; the other end 238 degrees; the place where
Fisherman thought Jardine's Creek joined the river 255 degrees. The
country we saw from our path along the right bank of the river was not,
of course, extensive, but what we saw was flat, covered with long grass,
and wooded with bloodwood and gum. These trees were the largest I have
seen in this part of the country, and almost the only ones I have seen
since leaving the depot at all well-adapted for building purposes. The
country in the valley of Jardine's Creek is most beautiful. It is thickly
grassed and in some parts without trees; in others thinly wooded or
