at 10.5 made three-quarters of a mile north-east
down the river (we have been following it when practicable on the left
side) at 10.45 made one mile and a quarter east down the river where it
is very confined and well watered; at 11.20 made half a mile
east-north-east to opposite junction of river from south, where I,
accompanied by Fisherman, left the party and crossed the river on a log
to see it. We found it rather smaller than the O'Shanassy and I have
named it the Thornton River. We marked a tree broad arrow before L on the
point between the two rivers and started after the party at 12; at 12.25
made one mile north-north-east along the track down the river; at 12.43
made three-quarters of a mile east-north-east along track down the river;
at 1.7 made one mile north to where we overtook Campbell and party,
having dinner on the bed of the river. Started again after marking a tree
broad arrow before L E, at 3.33; at 3.45 made half a mile north to where
the confined bed of the river is at places boggy and on the edge of the
waterhole the tea-trees are very tall; at 4.20 made three-quarters of a
mile north-north-west and camped.

Tuesday January 7. Camp 31 is situated on the left bank of the O'Shanassy
River.

We started from there at 9.10; at 9.45 made a mile and a quarter north by
east down the left bank of the O'Shanassy River; at 9.55 made a mile and
a quarter north-north-west to opposite junction of a watercourse which I
have named the Seymour River; at 10.12 made three-quarters of a mile
north-west to where we crossed a small creek with reeds in its bed at a
point near its junction with the river; at 10.37 made one mile north-west
by north along the left bank of the river, where we had a good road. The
river is still confined by ranges which sometimes terminate with cliffs;
at 10.48 made half a mile north-east to opposite junction of the creek;
at 10.54 made a quarter of a mile north-east to where we crossed a small
creek near its junction with the river; at 11.27 made one mile and a
quarter north by east along the left bank of the river; at 11.42 made
half a mile north; at 12 made three-quarters of a mile north-north-east
to where we watered the horses and waited for Mr. Campbell. Started again
at 12.30. At 12.53 made half a mile north-north-east. Made quarter mile
north to where we waited to mount Mr. Campbell who was tired of walking.
Started again at 1.3 p.m.; at 1.35 made a mile and a quarter north to
opposi
