I found the hills scrubby, barren, and rocky, with much prickly grass growing upon their slopes.

There were no watercourses upon the west side of the range at all, nor could I by tracing up some short rocky valleys coming from steep gorges in the face of the hill find any water.

The rock was principally of ironstone formation.

Upon ascending to the summit of the hill, I had an extensive but unsatisfactory view, a vast level field of scrub stretching every where around me, interspersed here and there with the beds of small dried up lakes, but with no signs of water any where.

At S.W.by S.I saw the smoke of a native fire rising in the plains.
