Expedition into Central Australia

CHAPTER IV
50/89

Mr.Browne will I am sure bear the Rocky Glen in his most grateful remembrance.

Relieved from further anxiety with regard to our animals, he hastened with me to ascend one of the hills that towered above us to the height of 600 feet, before the sun should set, but this was no trifling task, as the ascent was exceedingly steep.

The view from the summit of this hill presented the same broken country to our scrutiny which I have before described, at every point excepting to the westward, in which direction the ranges appeared to cease at about six miles, and the distant horizon from S.W.to N.W.

presented an unbroken level.

The dark and deep ravine through which the creek ran was visible below us, and apparently broke through the ranges at about four miles to the W.N.W.
but we could not see any water in its bed.
