Many peaks shewed themselves in the distance, and I was enabled to connect this point with "Coonbaralba," the hill above the camp.

The ridge I had directed Flood to cross was connected with this hill, and appeared to create a division of the waters thereabouts.

All however to the north or northwest was as yet confused.
There was no visible termination of the ranges in any direction, nor could we see any feature to guide us in our movements.
The rock formation of this hill was a fine grained granite, and was in appearance a round and prominent feature.

Although its sides were covered with low dark brush, there was a considerable quantity of oat-grass in its deep and sheltered valleys.

We soon struck on Flood's track after leaving this hill, which, as Lewis had been the first to ascend, I called "Lewis's Hill;" and riding up the valley along which the men had already passed, at six miles crossed the ridge, which (as we had been led to hope) proved to be the range dividing the eastern and western waters.
