I named this mountain Mount Musgrave.

It is nearly 1700 feet above the level of the surrounding country, and over 3000 feet above the sea.

The next day Mr.Carmichael went out to shoot game; there were kangaroos, and in the way of birds there were emus, crows, hawks, quail, and bronze-winged pigeons; but all we got from his expedition was nil.

The horses now being somewhat refreshed by our stay here, we proceeded across the little plain towards another high bluff hill, which loomed over the surrounding country to the west-north-west.

Flies were troublesome, and very busy at our eyes; soon after daylight, and immediately after sunrise, it became quite hot.
Traversing first the racecourse plain, we then entered some mulga scrub; the mulga is an acacia, the wood extremely hard.
