Where Mr.Browne struck it the banks were rather high, and its course was N.W.
by W.It was about eighty yards wide, with a strong current running upwards, caused by the back waters of the Murray.

Its general course for 12 miles was N.by E.The country was very open, and high banks, similar to those on the Murray, occurred alternately on either side.

The channel maintained the same appearance as far as Mr.Browne; rode and as he found the waters still running upwards, he considered that the object of his journey was attained, and that we should find no difficulty in pursuing our route northwards along this new line.

It may be necessary for me to inform the reader that no water ever flows down the Ana-branch from the north.

When Mr.Eyre first arrived on its banks it was dry, and he was consequently obliged to cross the country to the Darling itself, a distance of between 40 and 50 miles.
