The valley was bounded on its southern side by a long low range.
The blue mountain parrot was very frequent near our camp.
I have mentioned a small round eatable tuber, which I found in the basket of a native gin on the 2nd January.

I here found it to be the large end of the tap root of a Potamogeton, or a plant nearly allied to that genus; I found it with another interesting water-plant, with foliated spikes of blue flowers, in a small water-hole near our last camp.
April 23 .-- We travelled about north-west to latitude 19 degrees 4 minutes 41 seconds, over a succession of fine flats; one or two of which were almost exclusively timbered with poplar-gum, which always indicated a sound stiff soil.

These flats were separated by shallow gullies, and some Casuarina creeks, which come probably from the dividing ridges of the two rivers.

Ridges and ranges were seen on both sides, at different distances.

The Casuarina became more frequent along the banks of the river.
