The latter however is much wooded, whereas the S.W.
shore of the lake is low and grassy, and beautiful umbrageous trees adorn it, in number not more than two or three to the acre.

As Mr.Poole was engaged near me, I remained stationary on the 13th, but on the following day moved the camp seven miles to the westward, for his convenience.

On the 15th I again moved so as to keep pace with him, and was highly delighted at the really park-like appearance of the scenery.

This pretty locality is now occupied as a cattle run, and must be a place of amusement as well as profit.
We met Mr.Browne and Flood on their return to the camp from the journey on which I had sent them, about an hour before we halted.
Mr.Browne informed me that the day he left me he rode for some miles along the shore of the lake, and that after leaving it he encamped in the scrub, having travelled about seventeen miles.

The brush was very dense, although there were open intervals; it consisted of trees and shrubs of the usual kind, the soil was very sandy, and there was a good deal of spinifex upon it.
The next day, still on a due east course (that on which he had travelled from the lake), and at five miles from where he had slept, Mr.Browne came on a salt lake, about 800 yards in circumference.
