Johns departs from Illbilla today, heading for Alice Springs via Hermannsburg, he will take his time and has no intention of returning to Lasseter. 

Coote languishes under the plane for the day and that evening fires three shots from his pistol to attract attention, certainly none from the Aboriginals. 

Terry does a deal with Sharpe to transport 14 hundredweight of stores to Moorilyara, at 7 pounds, a high price but Terry has no choice, also another hundred pound of salt meat. Off again at 10.00 a.m. and good going until midday when bogged in a creek for half an hour. Granite Downs at 3ish and yarn with Mick Donahue for an hour before pushing on to Indulkana, the place is deserted and they catch up with Colson at Mount Chandler, also deserted. Colson not very well.
