I observed on the ridges an Acacia, a small tree, from thirty to
forty feet high, and from six to nine inches in diameter, and
easily distinguished by its peculiar rough frizzled bark, similar
to that of the Casuarina found at the ranges of the Robinson. It
has a dark sweet-scented heartwood, like that of the Bricklow and
the Myal and other Acacias, which I had previously met with. The
creek turned to the north and north-east, into a plain, and joined
a larger creek which came in from the right at about south-west.
Near their junction, a very conspicuous peak was observed, with
several small water-holes with water at its foot. I then returned
to the spot to which Charley had been ordered to conduct the camp;
but, as the party had not arrived, I feared that some accident
might have happened, and therefore rode towards the water-holes
from which Brown had gone back to the camp. I found the detention
caused by the absence of the horses, which had strayed to the other
side of the range.
