Sunday May 25. Warrego River, about half a mile below the tree marked by
Mr. Kennedy K XXI.

We rested ourselves and the horses. This morning I gave the manager of
stock here twenty rounds of cartridges, a few bullets, and a few caps for
a breach-loading rifle that I had sold him. The rifle is one I had
borrowed from Mr. Bourne for my last expedition, but as it was injured in
the service I promised to replace it. Its original cost was 15 pounds 10
shillings, but I sold it for a lower price, namely, 10 pounds. We
followed the road which came down the eastern bank of the river over
well-grassed rich level country and sandy ridges for about twelve miles.

May 26. Cunnamulla, Warrego River.

We followed the road down the river for about thirty-five miles from the
cattle stations, near Mr. Kennedy's 21st camp.

Tuesday May 27. Wooroorooka, Warrego River.

We continued following the road down the river till we reached
Wooroorooka. This run is occupied by a herd of horses belonging to T.
Danger, Esquire. Yesterday and today we travelled each day about seven
and a half hours. The distance is called seventy miles. The country we
saw between Cunnamulla and Wooroorooka was wet thinly-wooded plains
intersected by ana-branches of the river and by sandhills. At Wooroorooka
I met a gentleman called Mr. Birch who at one time very ably assisted Mr.
Stutchburgh in making a geological survey of a great part of Australia.
To him Mr. Bourne and I are greatly indebted for giving us much
intelligence of events that have taken place since we left Brisbane last
