Large Bastard-box flats lie between North Creek and the river.

About four miles from the camp, the country rises to the left of the river, and ranges and isolated hills are visible, which are probably surrounded by plains.

Wherever I had an opportunity of examining the rocks, I found sandstone; flint pebbles and fossil-wood are in the scrub and on the melon-hole flats.
At night, on my return, I had to pass Charley's camp, which was about a hundred yards from ours.

He called after me, and, when I stopped, he came up to me, and began to plead his cause and beg my pardon; he excused his sulkiness and his bad behaviour by his temperament and some misunderstanding; and tried to look most miserable and wretched, in order to excite my compassion.

My companions had seen him sitting alone under his tree, during almost the whole day, beating his bommerangs which he had received from the natives.
