bushes. Near the creek the land is flat and badly grassed, but back from
the creek the land is undulating and well grassed. From our path we saw
on both sides of us table ranges which gave a charm to the landscape. We
came here on the following courses: 11.20 south-west and by south eight
miles; 12.10 west one mile; 12.48 south-south-west one and three-quarter
miles; 1.20 south one and a half miles; 2.35 south-east three and
three-quarter miles; 5.25 south seven and a half miles.

This being Sunday we rested ourselves and horses.

March 31. Camp 38 situated on the left side of Landsborough's Creek at a
place about two miles north of a table range on the opposite bank.

We started this morning at 10.25. When we had followed down the left bank
of the creek we crossed Cornish Creek a short distance above its junction
with Landsborough's Creek. It had been recently flooded, and although the
ford was a good one the stream was still about three feet deep. Below the
junction of this creek the watercourse is called Landsborough's River.
(Lower down we ascertained it was called the Thomson River.) On the left
bank of Cornish Creek there are wooded ranges extending for several miles
down the river. After leaving these ridges our path down the left bank of
the river went over rich undulating ground with good grass and a few
belts of box-trees. On the opposite side of the river there is a
considerable extent of wooded country. On our journey one of the packs
having partly broken loose so frightened the horse carrying it that he
galloped off, and was not recovered until he had scattered his load,
consisting of medicines and peas, broadcast on the plain. The medicine
was recovered but the bulk of the peas were lost. About ten miles before
