Started at 8.15 this morning. Came down the right bank of the creek for
about fifteen miles and encamped at 2.53. The creek has fine deep holes
of water. The channel generally is confined by sandstone at places by
shelving rocks a few feet high and inaccessible for horses. Here the
channel is broad and sandy; about seven miles below the last camp it is
joined by a smaller watercourse from the north-west named by me Raff
Creek. The country we saw from our path was mostly good. It consists of
well-grassed, thinly-wooded flats, separated from each other by belts of
Port Curtis sandalwood, bauhinia, and other small trees, and at other
places by low ridges with triodia. The country in the immediate
neighbourhood consists of low ridges of poor soil with numerous rocky
gullies. These ridges are chiefly wooded with ironbak and grassed with
triodia. We traversed down the creek in the following way: 9.25
south-south-east three and a quarter miles; 11.4 south two and
three-quarter miles to Raff Creek; 1.30 south five and three-quarter
miles; 2.10 south-east and by south one and a quarter miles to a small
creek from the north-west; 3.54 south two miles to here.

We left camp this morning at 8.45. When we had travelled at our usual
pace till 1.45 we encamped at a small creek from the north-east. We
stopped here as we found dray-tracks near the creek that I wanted to
trace. After unsaddling Fisherman and I traced them a short distance to
