		Flinders rounded Cape York, and after a close examination of the Gulf of Carpentaria, which, like Spencer's Gulf in the south, deluded him for a time with the false hope of affording an inlet into the interior, brought his work to an end at Cape Wessel, in consequence of the rotten state of his ship.
		The coast country, meaning the land watered by the rivers first enumerated, has the advantage over the tableland in the matter of rainfall, and the rivers therefore possess more of the characteristics of running streams, than the chains of isolated ponds that are known as rivers in the inland slope.
		This is notably the case on the north, where the Flinders River and its tributaries drain country that bears all the distinctive growth of the interior.

		That the early explorers made mistakes in placing rivers and creeks on the map in the wrong places occasionally is by no means surprising, for they always had to contend with the disadvantages of incomplete and damaged instruments and outfits, droughts, floods, and the most incessant conflicts with the wild fls.

		He may be said to have run a parallel course to the Flinders River away to the north of it, until, on nearing the coast, the bend of the river brought it across his course again.
		He regained his former course on the river he calls the Norman, but which may have been the Saxby, and up this river he toiled till he reached the network of watersheds which forms such a jumble of broken country at the heads of the Burdekin, Lynd, Gilbert and Flinders.
