The clustered fig-tree gave us an ample supply of fruit, which, however, was not perfectly mellow.
Veins of calcareous spar and of quartz were again observed.

I ascended a lofty hill, situated about a mile and a half to the west of our encampment, and found it composed of felspathic porphyry, with a greyish paste containing small crystals of felspar; but, in the bed of the river, the same rock was of a greenish colour, and contained a great number of pebbles of various rocks, giving it the aspect of a conglomerate; but recognisable by its crystals of felspar, and from its being connected with the rock of the hill.

From the top of the hill, which is wooded with a silver-leaved Ironbark, I saw a very mountainous country to the N.N.W.
and northward, formed into detached ranges and isolated peaks, some of which were apparently very high; but to the north-west and west no ranges were visible.
A thunder-storm threatened on the 4th, but we had only some light showers: the morning of the 5th was very hot, and the afternoon rainy.
Wind from north and north-east.

Nights clear.
April 6 .-- We travelled about ten miles N.35 degrees W.over a ridgy, openly timbered, stony and sandy country, and crossed several sandy creeks, in which a species of Melaleuca, and another of Tristania were growing.

No part of the country that we had yet seen, resembled the northern parts of New England so much as this.
