ard Camp 28 and Outward Camp 18 at 9.2. This camp is situated
on Clifton Creek; at 9.38 one mile and a quarter east down the creek to
the broad arrow L tree; at 10 made three-quarters of a mile north to
where we left the creek; at 10.20 made three-quarters of a mile
east-south-east to rich tableland; at 10.38 made half a mile south-east
by south to track where Mr. Allison stayed behind to get the latitude; at
10.50 made three-quarters of a mile east; at 11.18 made three-quarters of
a mile east to O'Shanassy River; at 11.52 made one mile and a half
north-east by north to the junction of Clifton Creek, on which we had our
last night's camp; at 12.16 made one mile north-east by north down the
river; at 12.45 made one mile and a quarter east by north down the river;
at 12.55 made half a mile east by north to junction of little creek from
the south. Ridges on both sides, long straight race covered with blady
grass, near deep reach of water, which has apparently a permanent stream;
at 1.30 made half a mile east by north to where we crossed a small creek
from the south; at 1.40 made half a mile east-north-east to where we
crossed, near its junction with the O'Shanassy River, a watercourse from
the south named by me the Douglas River; at 2.50 made one mile and a
quarter north down the river to where we crossed a small creek from the
south-east. The O'Shanassy has a good stream of water. On these ridges I
observed marjoram. They are nearly barren and confine the river closely
on both sides. At 3.15 made three-quarters of a mile north-east along a
confined part of the river where it has very high flood-marks; at 3.40
made half a mile east-north-east to where we crossed a little creek from
the south, near its junction. At 4.3 made quarter of a mile east down the
river; at 4.15 made quarter of a mile east-south-east down the river; at
4.30 made quarter of a mile east up a gully from right side of the river;
at 4.40 made quarter of a mile north-east down a gully to the river; at
4.50 made quarter of a mile east down the river to where we formed our
29th camp. Here we were joined by Mr. Allison and Jemmy. The former, near
where they left us, made the latitude 19 degrees 31 minutes 49 seconds,
which is nearly the same as I made it a few miles to the westward.

Sunday January 5. Camp 29.

Started at 8 a.m. and went along the edge of the river which was very
confined; so much so that the horses had at one place to be led.
