WALL A NOILLY — TYRANNA.

cessary that I should again notice its features with minute- 
ness. 
The party arrived at Glendarewel, the farm attached to 
Brownlow Hill, on the 5th. I resumed my journey alone 
on the 8th. M'Leay had still some few arrangements to 
make, so that I dispensed with his immediate attendance. 
He overtook me, however, sooner than I expected, on the 
banks of the Wallandilly. I had encamped under the bluff 
end of Cookbundoon, and, having been disappointed in get- 
ting bearings when crossing the Razor Back, I hoped that 
I should be enabled to connect a triangle from the summit 
of Cookbundoon, or to secure bearings of some prominent hill 
to the south. I found the brush, however, so thick on the 
top of the mountain, that I could obtain no satisfactory 
view, and M'Leay, who accompanied me, agreed with me 
in considering that we were but ill repaid for the hot 
scramble we had had. Crossing the western extremity of 
Goulburn Plains on the 15th, we encamped on a chain of 
ponds behind Doctor Gibson’s residence at Tyranna, and 
as I had some arrangements to make with that gentleman, 
I determined to give both the men and animals a day s rest. 
I availed myself of Doctor Gibson’s magazines to replace 
such of my provisions as I had expended, as I found that 
I could do so without putting him to any inconvenience ; 
and I added two of his men to the party, intending to send 
them back, in case of necessity, or, when we should have 
arrived at that point from which it might appear expedient 
to forward an account of my progress and ultimate views, 
for the governor’s information.
