CHAPTER V
7/19

Our position bore S.W.from East Mount Barren, E.from a bluff range three miles from us, and N.55 degrees E.from some high hills in the direction of Middle Mount Barren.

The course of the stream we were encamped upon being nearly north and south.
June 29 .-- Having found so much difficulty in keeping between the hills and the sea, I determined now to keep more inland, and steering W.20 degrees N., headed all ranges in four miles.

From this point East Mount Barren bore E.20 degrees N., and as I was now clear of hills in front, I changed my course to W.20 degrees S., passing through a barren worthless country for eleven miles, and encamping upon a deep ravine, in which we procured brackish water.

Our horses were greatly fagged.

From our camp West Mount Barren bore S.41 degrees W.
June 30 .-- For the first ten miles to-day we had a very bad road, over steep stony ridges and valleys, covered for the most part with dense gum scrub.
