An open forest country lies between it and the creek, and it is not at all deficient in pasture.
NEW YEAR'S CREEK.
That a change of soil takes place to the westward of the creek, is obvious, from the change of vegetation, the most remarkable feature of which is the sudden check given to the further extension of the acacia pendula, which is not to be found beyond it, it being succeeded by another acacia of the same species and habits; neither do the plants of the chenopedia class exist in the immediate vicinity of the range.
I place these hills, as far as my observations will allow, in east lon.

146 degrees 32 minutes 15 seconds, and in lat.

30 degrees 21 minutes south; the variation of the compass being 6 degrees 40 minutes easterly.
As New Year's Creek was leading northerly, it had been determined to trace it down as long as it should keep that course, or one to the westward of it.

We broke up the camp, therefore, under the range, on the evening of the 18th, and moved to the creek, about two miles north of the place at which we had before crossed it, with the intention of prosecuting our journey on the morrow.

But both Mr.Hume and I were so fatigued that we were glad of an opportunity to rest, even for a single day.
