It has a dark sweet-scented heartwood, like that of the Bricklow and the Myal and other Acacias, which I had previously met with.

The creek turned to the north and north-east, into a plain, and joined a larger creek which came in from the right at about south-west.

Near their junction, a very conspicuous peak was observed, with several small water-holes with water at its foot.

I then returned to the spot to which Charley had been ordered to conduct the camp; but, as the party had not arrived, I feared that some accident might have happened, and therefore rode towards the water-holes from which Brown had gone back to the camp.

I found the detention caused by the absence of the horses, which had strayed to the other side of the range.
