  1. camel resting. Annotated "90. My camel in spinnifex and high grass. Drought in Alice Springs and away out West beautiful feed and not a beast to eat it"

  2. landscape showing man on camel on horizon. Annotated "91. On the summit of the McDonnell Range. Camels are as sure footed as goats in dry weather, but let there be but 10 pints of rain and they wont budge. They slip and injure their shoulders"

  3. landscape showing resting cames in front of high hills. Annotated "96. Haasts' Bluff 150 miles West of Alice Springs"

  4. landscape showing camel riders in low scrub. Annotated "97. Our party near "Armangurrina", the highest peak in the McDonnell's 220 miles West of Alice Springs. Note the hight and density of the scrub"

  5. man diving into water. Annotated "103. Glen Helen Gap. This is the origin of the famous Finke River. There is permanent water here and deep enough to float an ocean liner but 30 miles further on there is only dry sandy bed"
