From the summit of an open part of the range, I saw other ranges to the northward, but covered with Bricklow scrub, as was also the greater part of Gibert's Range.

To the east, however, the view was more cheering; for the hills are more open, and the vegetation composed of the silver-leaved and narrow-leaved Ironbark trees and an open Vitex scrub.

Several rocky gullies were passed, that were full of palm trees.

The valley of Palm-tree Creek extends about nineteen miles from west to east The ranges which bound it to the south, I called "Lynd's Range," after my friend R.Lynd, Esq.

Gilbert's Range bounds it to the northward: Middle Range separates the creek from the Dawson up to their junction.
