Tuesday April 23rd 1861

Having collected together all the odds & ends that seemed likely to be of use to us in addition to provisions left in the plant we started at h9 m15am keeping down the southern bank of the creek; we only went about five miles and camped at h11 m30 on a billibong where the feed was pretty good.  we find the change of diet already making a great improvement in our spirits & strength.

The weather is delightful days agreeably warm but the nights very chilly the latter is more noticeable from our deficiency in clothing the Depot party having taken all the reserve things back with them to the Darling.

to Camp No 1
