We left Camp 61 this morning at 8.27. This camp is situated on the
western bank at the head of a watercourse which perhaps flows into the
Warrego River. When we had followed this river down for about
twenty-three miles in a southerly direction we encamped. In following the
river down after crossing a short distance below camp along its eastern
bank, and when we had ridden about twelve and a quarter miles, we crossed
a creek from the eastward. Nearly all the way today we observed deep
horse-tracks, and about four and a quarter miles above here we observed a
tree marked FM (conjoined) with cross underneath. The channel of the
river was of a sandstone formation at some places and had fine holes of
water. Our path today came over six miles of unavailable barren scrubby
ridges. The remainder of the way was chiefly over well-grassed land
confined on the eastern side for the greater part by sandstone ridges
thickly wooded with mulga. We came here in about the following courses
from the last camp: 10.40 south-south-east for five and three-quarter
miles; 12.20 south half east for five and a half miles; 1.15 south for
one mile; 2.40 south-south-west for four and a half miles; 3.25 south for
two and a quarter miles; 4.25 south-south-east for three miles; 4.50
south one and a quarter miles; total twenty-three miles.

As this was Sunday we rested ourselves and the horses. I made the

We left Camp 62 this morning at 9.15. This camp is situated on the bank
of the river. In the forenoon we proceeded due south. In the afternoon we
had to travel considerably to the westward of south to keep near the
