Thursday 4th June 1835

Started this morning up the River
at 8 A M - after following up the
River for 4 or 5 miles I went off to get
a view of Mount Collicott, Cottrell,
and Connelly, as well as Mount
Solomon, from this I saw at a
great distance 2 other Mounts
which I named Mount Wedge,
and Mount Sam’s , those are in a
range with Mt Solomon - shortly
after taken the distance and bearing
of these Mount three Emu ,
started a cross a beautifull flat
or rather high Plain, I followed
the Dog’s for a mile or more and
saw the run for 2 or 3 miles
further, when on these Plains and
where I now stand writing this
I think I could safety swear , that
I can see every way over Plains
20 miles distance with scarcely
any Timber, and covered with
Kangaroo Grass 8 and 10 Inches high this
