Wednesday May 28. Bananka, Warrego River, New South Wales.

From Wooroorooka we followed the road down the river for about twelve

fine condition of the sheep showed it to be still first-rate pasturage.

May 29. Eringa, Warrego River, New South Wales, Con's Old Station.

country we saw is similar to all the country on the river. From the point
of the river where it is unconfined by ridges it flows in several
channels.

Warrego River. The distance from Eringa to here is called seventy miles.
