Friday, 10th June, Same Place
I have been very unwell during the night with cramp in the stomach, but hope I shall get better as I go on. Started at 8 o’clock on a bearing of 32 degrees 4 minutes. At four miles went to the top of Mount O’Halloran. The creek is about three miles to the west; it breaks through the Hanson range. Changed my course to 317 degrees to get away from the stones, which are very rough close to the hill. At six miles changed my course to 270 degrees to examine an isolated hill for springs, but found none. The creek winds round this hill, and spreads out into numerous channels, covering a space of two miles; but there is no water here, nor for three miles further up the creek. We have, however, found some rain water; and, as I feel so unwell that I am unable to ride, I have camped here for the night, and sent Muller to examine the creek for water. He has been unsuccessful.
