We rode along the ridges on a W.N.W.and west course, and came into the valley of another creek, which we crossed; and, passing several other ridges, which appear to be connected with West Hill, descended to a fine creek, in which we found a reedy water-hole of considerable size.

The character of all these creeks is the same.
Extensive flats of rotten ground, but beautifully clothed with tufts of grass, openly timbered with Moreton Bay ash and flooded-gum, ascend into gentle grassy slopes of silver-leaved Ironbark and bloodwood, and then rise into sandstone ridges with Acacia thickets and shrubby plants peculiar to the sandstone formation.

An Acacia with very large falcate, glaucous phyllodia, and the Euphorbiaceous Severn-tree, were very plentiful; and Crinum grew in thousands on the sandy flats.

After a very hot day, the night was bright and dewy: a light breeze was felt at 8 o'clock, which cooled the air.

26 .-- I removed my camp to the reedy water-hole of yesterday, about five miles in the direction of west or west by north from our last encampment.
