which we had our two last camps and left it. The creek was too small to
be the Barcoo River, and the ground on both sides of it too high to admit
of it being an ana-branch. To the southward of our path we observed a
long range of hills, one of which was remarkable for its tabled summit.
The country we saw was more undulated than that we saw yesterday, but
otherwise of a similar description. We came here in about the following
courses: 10.23 south-east for five and a half miles; 11.43
south-south-east for three and a half miles; 2.35 south and by east for
four and three-quarter miles; 4.55 south for five and a half miles; 5.15
west and by south for three-quarter miles. Distance twenty miles.

April 26. Camp 57.

We left Camp 56 this morning 9.30. We steered south, and by that course
left the small creek on which we had encamped, and reached another creek
with here and there water in its channel. We followed the creek up nearly
to its source in the fine range of hills I mentioned in yesterday's
journal. Having left the creek we came nearly east for three and a half
miles to the left bank of a watercourse with plenty of water in it and
encamped. The country we saw today was very rich with undulating features
and the best grasses; the timber upon it consisting of myall,
western-wood acacia, brigalow, white-wood and box. The brigalows are few
and far between. The box grows along the watercourses. We came here from
last camp in about the following courses: 2.40 south for ten and
three-quarter miles; 3.10 east for one and a quarter miles; 4
east-south-east two and a quarter miles. Distance fourteen and a quarter
miles.

April 27. Camp 57.
