CHAPTER I
6/37

In the forest, Ranunculus inundatus; Eryngium with terete simple leaves, of which the horses are fond; Prasophyllum elatum, sweetly scented.

A new composite with white blossoms, the rays narrow and numerous.

Sky clear; cumuli to the S.W.; wind from the westward.

Ridges visible to the N.N.E.and N.E.
At the outskirts of the scrub, the short-tailed sleeping lizard with knobby scales was frequent: one of them contained six eggs.

We camped outside of the scrub, surrounded by small tufts of the Bricklow Acacia.
Droves of kangaroos entered the scrub; their foot-paths crossed the forest in every direction.
The thermometer, before and at sunrise, 32 degrees; so cold that I could not work with my knife, away from the fire.
