The grasses are at present in full ear, and often four feet high; but the tufts are distant, very different from the dense sward at the other side of the Range.

As we left the Myal country of the Condamine, we left also its herbage, abounding in composite, leguminous, and chenopodiaceous plants, with a great variety of grasses.
Oct.

20 .-- This morning, at half-past nine o'clock, Messrs.

Roper, Hodgson, and Charley, returned with John Murphy and Caleb.

They had strayed about twelve miles from the camp, and had fairly lost themselves.
Their trackers had to ride over seventy miles, before they came up to them, and they would certainly have perished, had not Charley been able to track them: it was indeed a providential circumstance that he had not left us.
