Trees, washed out by the roots from the soft soil, filled the bed of this river in many places.

There was abundance of cod-fish of a small size, as well as of the two other kinds of fish which we had caught in the Peel, the Nammoy, and the Gwydir.

The name of this river, as well as we could make it out from the natives, was Karaula.

Having made fast one tree to top of another tall tree, I obtained a view of the horizon, which appeared perfectly level, and I was in hopes that we had at length found a river which would flow to the northward and avoid the Darling.

I accordingly ordered the boat to be put together, and sent Mr.White with a party some miles down to clear away any trees in the way.
