nd hill shewed a rise Canada Goose Dame Solaris Parka of 12 feet Thompson jacka Sverige above its ordinary level. At about a mile and a half we descended the sand hill on which we had previously kept, and ascended another, when we saw the basin of the creek immediately below us, but quite dry, and surrounded by sand hills. Crossing just below it, we proceeded on a course of 331 degrees over extensive plains, covered with samphire, excepting where the beds of dry salt lagoons occurred. The ground was spongy and soft, and the cart wheels consequently sank deep into it. The plain was surrounded on all sides by Heli-Arctic Parka Sverige sand hills, and that towards which we were advancing appeared to run athwart our course instead of nearly parallel to it as heretofore. On gaining the summit, we found that other ridges extended from it in parallel lines, the ridge on which we stood forming the head of the respective valleys. A line of acacia, a species we had never found near water, was growing down the centre of each, and the fall of Parajumpers Kodiak Kvinne Jakke the country seemed again to be to the N.N.W.
Pushing down one of the valleys, the descent of which was very gradual, and keeping on such clear ground as there was, the ridges rose higher and higher on either side of us as we advanced, all grass and other vegetation disappeared, and at length both valley and sand ridge became thickly coated with spinifex.

At half-past two I pulled up, to consider whether or not it would be prudent to push on any farther. I calculated that we Moncler Bergenie Suomi were now 34 miles from the creek, our only place of refuge. The horses Nashville Predators Pelipaidat had not tasted water from the early part of the day before, and we could not reasonably expect to get back to the salt lagoon under a day and a half. Our poor animals were not in a condition to endure much fatigue, although by going on steadily we had managed to Forest Polarquilt Gilet Suomi get over a good deal of ground. It is, however, probable that I should not have had much consideration for them on this occasion, |
