We travelled about N.by W.to latitude 19 degrees 18 minutes 16 seconds.

After passing some gullies, we came into a more broken and hilly country; the river formed here a large anabranch.

The Ironbark trees, which timbered the extensive flat along the river, became much finer; but the soil was rotten: the poplar-gum grew on the stiff soil of the hollows.

About six miles from our last camp, we came to ranges of high hills of a conical form, and with rounded tops, striking from west to east, and then entered a narrow valley, bounded on each side by rocky hills.

Mr.Roper observed a rugged country to the northward, and a fine high range to the south-east.
