We camped on mungy flat just east of Rooka. Hardly drove away from the place when three Kiallas put in here apparently from Diamantella. From two of them we purchased not less than 20 lamb's feet for 27 cents or one shilling. This morning our cook again found ice in the bushlets and I saw fresh thin ice in the stream beds. A small piece of drift wood lies on top of a camp in the bush. The day was clear but a little cool. Aug 17-97 Tuesday, Near Saviarcat Had breakfast at six. White and I started got to the basalt which came down to the sea a little east of Darfayre. This is probably two miles East of our camping place which we think to be Rooka Angustulum but which the natives point out as three miles westward of our camp in the various ways of the basalt are found but few mussels in the stream bed but the next one eastward had an abundance of them. Graded turned himself down one morning and it resulted in very poor results. On arriving at camp two natives were waiting for our visit. Amusement and Tered with bonings.
