Fine, though narrow, but well-grassed flats extended along Comet Creek.

We observed growing on the creek, the dwarf Koorajong (Grewia), a small rough-leaved fig tree, a species of Tribulus, and the native Portulaca.

The latter afforded us an excellent salad; but was much more acid than I had found it in other parts of the country, where I had occasionally tasted it.

The native melon of the Darling Downs and of the Gwyder, grew here also.

Of animals, we saw several kangaroos, emus, native companions, and wallabies.
During our return to the camp, a hot wind blew from the south-west across Albinia Downs: the great extent of which sufficiently accounted for the high temperature.
