27th. Left Coen 1- am. Lunch on 12-mile Creek, 12 miles north of Ebagoolah. Arrived Ebagoolah 3:35, altitude variously 900 ft. to 700 ft. by aneroid. Broken ridgy country with granite rocks and quartz reefs, and mainly bloodwood and ironbark timber, from Coen to near the 12 Mile. Beyond that, mostly messmate ridges with fairly large trees and red soil. Good water in a spring-fed sandy hole in the 13 Mile. No one lives at Ebagoolah. Timbers of the old hotel, butcher shop, etc., still stand, and one small building of galvanized iron. Mango trees, bougainvillea, and a few other planted things still thrive. Clean, spa- cious sandy ridge. Fine site for a town. But the only water supply is from a shallow well on the edge of a teatree flat. We camped there, be- side the unoccupied camp of persons unknown, whose horses were hobbed on the flat. Tending wire, and galvanized iron were stacked near their fIys. Clear cold night and a heavy dew. 23th. Left Ebagoolah 8 am. Called at Burns & Solomon's "Yarraden" cattle station (about 2 miles) with a telegram. Ronnie Solomon was cutting up fresh beef and gave us steak for our supper. Rough, crude, batchelor outfit. 14 miles south of Ebagoolah we stopped at the old gold mining place of Yarraden to drop Dave Hartley, one of three partners who are begin- ning the reopening of the old Savannah mine. Gave Hartley a lift from Coen. A stockhold man on the steamer "Time". Says that like many men these days, he works only 9 months in the year for wages. Income tax payments are high and it does not benefit them to work more than nine months. 5 miles farther on we stopped a few minutes at the camp of old Pilly Burns at Speirkop. Burns, a hunchback, has worked free gold on the hill for years. Has recently sold his claim and camp to Jack Greatman. 6 miles from Speirkop we came to the abandoned homestead of Bamboo Station. Stretched teatree country. Top of the Dividing Range where we started down was 950 ft. Range of granite scarped to the east. To the west the country stretches for miles and miles without perceptible general fall. Foot of the range about 450 ft. above sea level. Descent steep in parts, but the road is quite passable for motor vehicles in good mechanical order. At foot of range we tried to find the blazed turn-off to a spring, about 1½ miles from the road, where rock wallabies are reported plentiful. Went on to tbe railman's camp, beside another spring which has dried up, where we arrived at 1:25 and had lunch with water carried on the truck. Struck the telegraph line a mile or so on from our lunch camp and followed it to Musgrave, arriving at 3:45. For 20 years or more Mus- grave has been closed as a telegraph station and used as homestead by "Uncle" Fred Shephard, owner of a cattle property of considerable size. Uncle and his wife are famed for their hospitality to travelers. We camped beside a warm sulphur spring about 500 yds up the creek (Salt- water Gk.) from the homestead. Alt. 450 ft. 29th. Left Musgrave 8 am and camped on the north bank of the Hann River at 1 o'clock. Alt. 350 ft. Distance 40 miles by telegraph line from Musgrave. The Hann is a permanently running stream - the only one on the Princess Charlotte Bay watershed. Stream 10-15 yds. wide at the road crossing. Long, deep, dark hole of water a short distance above
