vicinity of the creek on the west side is very poorly grassed all
the way up from where we crossed it: that on the east side appeared
to be better.

I think there can scarcely be a doubt but that this creek is the
lower portion of the Warrego River, although I believe that its
main supply of water is obtained from the adjoining ranges, which
send down innumerable creeks into the flats through which it flows.

Some latitude observations at Camp 53, (the furthest point to which
we traced the creek) placed us in 28 degrees 16 minutes 40 seconds
south; our latitude, by account, being 28 degrees 17 minutes 8
seconds, and longitude, 143 degrees 18 minutes east. On Thursday,
November 8th, we left Wright's Creek with the intention of crossing
the ranges to Cooper's Creek. We found the land as we approached
the hills well grassed, and in some places densely timbered: it is
intersected by numerous watercourses with deep sandy channels, in
most of which there seemed little chance of finding water. We
camped at a waterhole in McDonagh's Creek; the spot is indicated by
a gum tree marked B over LIV within square.

De Rinsy's Tracks.--Near here we found the tracks of drays; there
were four distinct tracks, two of which appeared to be those of
heavy horse drays, the other two might have been made by light ones
or ring carts; we were unable to make out the tracks of the horses
or cattle. I cannot imagine what tracks these are, unless they may
be those of De Rinsy, who, I believe, had some drays with him, and
reported that he had been somewhere in this direction. From Camp 54
to Camp 55 we were obliged to take a very circuitous route on
account of the rugged and stony nature of the ranges, which were
