Stuart's journal entry for that day refers to himself as "being very unwell" but not feeble and struggling, although his health was to deteriorate.
Thring could hardly contain his excitement and shouted "The sea! The sea!" to the others.
Stuart wrote: At length understanding what was meant they commenced cheering at a terrible rate which lasted some time. The next day, the party cleared a space around a tree and nailed a Union Jack to its highest branch. Across the centre of the flag was Stuart's name, embroidered months earlier by Elizabeth Chambers.
A paper bearing the party's names and signatures was buried in an air-tight tin case at the foot of the tree. The paper read: South Australian Great Northern Exploring Expedition. The exploring party, under the command of John McDouall Stuart, arrived at this spot on the 25th day of July 1862 having crossed the entire Continent of Australia from the Southern to the Indian Ocean, passing through the Centre. They left the City of Adelaide on the 26th [it was, in fact, the 25th] day of October 1861 and the most northern station of the colony on the 21st day of January 1862. To commemorate this happy event, they have raised this flag bearing his name. All well. God save the Queen! (Webster; 233).

Hi Craig,
I am a PhD student at CDU and enjoy your blog. Nauclea orientalis also occurs in West Timor, usually grows along streams. I am now writing a post on this tree, please allow me to use pictures in your blog with reference to your blog, of course. My blog: Tumbuhan Bali (Plants of Bali), a blog I dedicate to my place of origin, where this tree has become very rare.
