Many of our things got wet, and we were delayed by stopping to dry them.
April 4 .-- We moved our camp to latitude 20 degrees 24 minutes 12 seconds, a distance of about nine miles N.W.by N.We passed several granitic peaks and ranges; one of which I ascended, and enjoyed an extensive view.
The character of the country changed very little: open narrow-leaved Ironbark forest on a granitic sand, full of brilliant leaflets of mica.
Some deep creeks came from the eastward.

To the west and north-west nothing was to be seen but ridges; but high imposing ranges rise to the north and north-east.

At one spot, large masses of calcareous spar were scattered over the ground; they were probably derived from a vein in the granite.
Three black ducks, (Anas Novae Hollandiae) were shot.

Tracks of native dogs were numerous; and a bitch came fearlessly down to the river, at a short distance from our camp.

Our kangaroo dog ran at her, and both fell into the water, which enabled the bitch to escape.
April 5 .-- We re-crossed the river, which was not very deep, and travelled about nine miles N.75 degrees W.The river flows parallel to a high mountain range, at about three or four miles from its left bank.
