Oct.

4 .-- Cloudy sky; thermometer 50 degrees at sunrise; little dew; 64 degrees at eight o'clock.
We travelled about eleven miles in a S.W.and S.S.

W.direction, skirting the scrub.

During the journey, two thunder-storms passed over; one to the southward beyond the Condamine, the other to the north and north-east over the mountains.

The scrub is a dense mass of vegetation, with a well defined outline--a dark body of foliage, without grass, with many broken branches and trees; no traces of water, or of a rush of waters.
