There were occasional opening [openings?} of the River, but the greatest part was scrubbly and miserable. We camped at the junction of a flagstone creek which probably came from the Ranges to the Eastward. During the night at half past eleven we felt a fine strong Westerly breeze in which I thought to recognise the well known
