season, the latter stony and badly grassed, to a gap with an isolated
hill on the north-west and two on the north-east side; at 1.22 made
three-quarters of a mile north to where we delayed at the river to water
the horses till 1.48; at 2.37 made two miles and a quarter east over fine
rich country, the grass of which was just beginning to show life in
consequence of recent rains; at 3 made one mile north-north-east to the
right bank of the river where we intended to camp, but were obliged to go
further as the horses could not water from the steepness of the banks. At
3.20 made one mile north-east and encamped where there is a rapid stream
of water about two feet deep below the reach I have mentioned.

there is a good crossing place.

Mr. Allison at one o'clock this morning made an observation of Pollux
from an artificial horizon, which made its altitude 85 degrees 36

light loamy flats, in which the tombung fruit-trees were plentiful, also
the following trees: bauhinia, broad-leaved box, broad-leaved Moreton Bay

east to river about 150 yards wide with high flood-marks, which I have
named the Ligar after the Surveyor-General of Victoria; at 9.6 made half
a mile east-north-east down the Ligar River to where we crossed it above
an isolated hill, where it was dry; at 9.30 made one mile north-east by
east to bluff rocky hill where the flood-marks are about 30 feet high,
west-north-west side; at 9.52 made one mile north-east along a range with
a bluff termination; at 10.35 made two miles and a quarter
east-north-east in sight of the high trees of the river; at 11 made one
