The main bearing of it is nearly north 25 degrees west; it is the longest feature of the kind I ever traversed, being over forty miles straight, and over a hundred miles of actual travelling, and it appeared the only pass through the range, which I named the Krichauff.

To the north a higher and more imposing chain existed, apparently about twenty miles away.

This northern chain must be the western portion of the McDonnell Range.

The river now is broader than in the glen; its bed, however, is stony, and not boggy, the country level, sandy, and thinly timbered, mostly all the vegetation being burnt by grass fires set alight by the natives.
Travelling now upon the right bank of this stream, we cut off most of the bends, which, however, were by no means so extensive or so serpentine as in the glen or on the south side of it.

Keeping near the river bank, we met but little porcupine grass for the most part of the day's stage, but there was abundance of it further off.
