Setting out from Burrundie Tenison-Woods 'examined all the places where mining has been or was actually being carried out. In the course of these journeys most of the intervening country was prospected and the geology was noted'. He then undertook 'an exploration in the less known portions of the interior. Our course was from Mount Wells to Mount Douglas and thence south-eastward across the ranges to the Eveleen mine. From thence we traced the River Mary to its sources and then having crossed a small patch of tableland reached the upper waters of the Katherine which we followed down to the telegraph station; from thence we proceeded along the line to Pine Creek. I returned to Palmerston by the overland route from Southport'. E. Spiller, Government Printer unknown
