On the following day, the 11th February, I travelled down this creek, and reached a flat country of great extent, lightly timbered with Ironbark, Bastard-box, and Poplar-gum; but the water disappeared in the sandy bed of the creek, which had assumed a very winding course, and we had to encamp on a shallow pool left on the rocks, which, for a short distance, formed again the bed of the creek.

Our latitude was 22 degrees 23 minutes, about thirteen miles E.N.

E.from our camp of the 8th February.

12 .-- We continued travelling along the creek, and halted at very fine water-holes, within some Bricklow scrub, which here made its appearance again.

The stage did not exceed six miles east; but I did not venture to proceed farther until I had examined the country in advance, which did not look very promising.
