From this point Mr.
Poole went to the north, but at 12 miles changed his course to the N.E.
for three miles, when he intersected a creek with gum-trees, and shortly afterwards found a large supply of permanent water.

Their latitude at this point was 29 degrees 47 minutes S., and up to it no change for the better had taken place in the appearance of the country.

On Monday, the 15th, Mr.Poole ascended several hills to take bearings before he moved on; he then proceeded up the creek to the north-west, and passed from fifteen to twenty large water-holes.

At about three miles, Mr.Poole found himself on an open table land, on which the creek turned to the west.

He, therefore, left it, and at two miles crossed a branch creek with water and grass.
