The Forrest expedition again encounters very little feed and no permanent water, and this time the water they obtain from rock water-holes is not sufficient.

They are compelled to dash more than two hundred and forty kilometers (one hundred and fifty) to a spot where Eyre had found water in 1841.

Having secured a water source, they rest and explored the area before moving on, eventually reaching Eucla on July 2.

At Eucla they rest and reprovision, also exploring inland, where they find good pasture land.
