In a special arrangement note from The Golden Kookaburra, characters Wilship and Mac pledge to pursue the golden kookaburra after obtaining money and a field plan, with plans to begin on Monday and follow the trail. The dialogue hints at a combined quest and unfolding schemes.
George Wilship and McGregor journey toward Broken Hill with mounting rivalry. Wilship plans murder-like tricks and sabotages a risky coach descent. He steals McGregor's map using chloride of lime, then drafts a taunting note declaring the fight for future clashes.
A narrative follows Wilship as he tracks a perilous route north from Heresford by rail and telegraph to Warrima then into Henrietta Creek. He camps at the source of Henrietta where water is scarce and plans a launch toward Ferdinand, stocking four horses six water skins and provisions for a 75 mile trek. He departs at dusk into a sand sea toward the home of the golden kookaburra, continuing a perilous expedition.
