Lasseter arrives at Lake Christopher and finds that it is a large, well vegetated, claypan, not a salt lake as he expected. No sign of Johanson.

It's been a long wet night but clears by 8.30, Taylor and Johns away shortly after, traveling with the Krichauff ranges close on their left they cover 23 miles for the day. Heavy rain again during the evening.

The Endeavour team breaks camp at 8, the camelmen to a watering point to refill the drums and the truck to a granite hill two miles from Mount Aloysius. Slow progress through wet sandhills, just before the hill the truck bogs to the axles with no hope of traction in the fine clayey loam, shovels are useless and its picks and hands to dig the vehicle out, utterly grubby work. Arrive at Aloysius at 12.50. Prospect the granite spurs after lunch but the quartz is hard and blue, several specimens dollied but no mineral whatsoever. Camp pitched at 3.30, Bird continues dollying and later rabbit shooting with success, late tea at 7.00p.m with much lightening and thunder about but the worst of the storms miss them.

Terry's concerned, the camels have not arrived as expected, turns in early, deciding to take things a little more quietly over the coming days
