14/68 Have fears that the information received from the natives relates to nine of Mr.Austin's horses that died from poison at Poison Rock. They now state they are only horses' bones, and not men's, as first stated. Passed over very rough, low, quartz hills, covered with acacia thickets, etc. At four miles passed a water-hole called Yeergolling; at seven miles a small one called Gnurra; and another at eight miles called Munnarra.
