25 M.S. Richardson 1938 77 General Account one of the spurs leading over the highest range bordering the Darling Plain. At a point where we crossed this ridge, the climate was about 900 m. Then we followed along another spur up and down more or less latterly to Arakanie Creek. A nice little river some 25 ft wide flowing toward the south. Here we had camped and then on along another spur rising gently to the present camp site. We arrived here at about 2:00 in the afternoon. Our lunch was taken off for lunch. The vegetation all along the route has been a changing one, first that of the rain forest which reached an altitude of about 750 m. and then gradually changed to a mangrove forest (very different from mangrove of the 2800m camp). This forest in itself has changed it as well less grass and more rotten and undergrowth. For description of altitudes and forest composition see Bracken notes. Jan. 7 15 km S.W.
