So intersected indeed was this neighbourhood, that we got to a point at which five creeks joined.
The scene was a very pretty one, since they formed a sheet of water of tolerable size shaded by large trees.

The native name of this place was "Chouraknarup," a name by no means so harmonious as the names of their places generally are.

We had not commenced any collection at this time, there being nothing new either in the animals or plants, but I observed that everything was much more forward on this part of the river than near Lake Bonney, although there was no material difference between the two places in point of latitude.

A meridian altitude of the sun gave our latitude 34 degrees 1 minutes 33 seconds S., and one of Altair 34 degrees 2 minutes 2 seconds S.
The night of the 6th Sept.

was frosty and cold, and we had thick ice in the buckets.
