How little did he dream that the hills beneath him were full of silver, and that one day a populous city of miners should occupy the waterless plain in front of him ! In this region he had to be very careful how he advanced, for he had with him eleven horses, thirty bullocks, and two hundred sheep, and water for so great a multitude could with difficulty be procured. He had always to ride forward and find a creek or pond of sufficient size, as the next place of encampment, before allowing the e...xpedition to move on; and, as water was often very difficult to find, his progress was but slow. Fortunately for the party, it was the winter season, and a few of the little creeks had a moderate supply of water. But after they had reached a chain of hills, which Sturt called the Grey Range, the warm season was already upon them. The summer of 1844 was one of the most intense on record ; and in these vast interior plains of sand, under the fiery glare of the sun, the earth seemed to bum like plates of metal : it split the hoofs of the horses ; it scorched the shoes and the feet of the men ; it dried up the water from the creeks and pools, and left all the coimtry parched and full of cracks.
