Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia

CHAPTER I
32/37

We now travelled through a country full of lagoons, and chains of water-holes, and passed through several patches of cypress-pine, until we came to another creek with rocky water-holes, with the fall to the eastward, probably joining Dogwood Creek, from which we were not four miles distant.

Fine grassy flats accompanied the creek on its left, whilst a cypress-pine forest grew on its right bank.

The latitude of our yesterday's camp was 26 degrees 26 minutes 30 seconds and, to-day, we are only four miles more to the westward.

The country is still so flat and so completely wooded--sometimes with scrubs, thickets, Acacia, and Vitex groves, sometimes with open Ironbark forest intermingled with spotted gum--that no view of distant objects can be obtained.

Several Epacridaceous shrubs and species of Bossiaea and Daviesia reminded me of the flora of the more southern districts.
