7 .-- We travelled down Zamia Creek.

The bed of the creek, though lined with many casuarinas, was entirely dry, and we did not reach a water-hole until we had travelled a distance of nine miles from the camp.
Hoping that the supply of water would increase, I travelled on ward, leaving Mount Nicholson about six miles to the left.

As we proceeded, the flats along the creek increased in size; and we entered a level country (which seemed unbounded towards the north-east) covered with silver-leaved Ironbark, box, and flooded-gum.

We passed a large scrubby creek, coming from Mount Nicholson, and a considerable watercourse from Aldis's Peak.

On the latter, we found a fine water-hole, at which we encamped.
