Extractions: Click here for an easier version Governor Darling sent Sturt, together with Hamilton Hume to follow and map the Macquarie River. They got as far as the Darling River which they named, but were unable to track the river any further, as the surrounding country was in the grip of a terrible drought and the streams had dried up. However, he had proved that northern New South Wales was not a giant inland sea. His next expedition was in 1829 when he persuaded Governor Darling to allow him to follow the Murrumbidgee, which had been discovered by Hume and Hovell. Sturt ordered his men to load their guns ready for war, when he noticed another party of aboriginals plunge into the river from the opposite bank and swim towards the hostile natives. These were the same friendly aboriginals who had travelled with Sturt for the past few days, and they were able to make peace. The explorers were then able to proceed. Before long, Sturt discovered the lower reaches of the Darling, which was now in full flow, unlike the previous year. This meant that at last the mystery of the inland rivers was solved. Sturt proved that the west-flowing rivers eventually turned south to the ocean and there was no inland sea. On February 4 1830, the party sighted seagulls. Aboriginals told them that the ocean was nearby and on February 9, they sailed into a lake which Sturt named Alexandrina. A few days later, they found the point where the Murray flowed into the sea and since they could not sight any ships which might take them back to Sydney, they started their long journey rowing back to their depot on the Murrumbidgee.

Extractions: Click here to go back to the harder version of Charles Sturt The western rivers of New South Wales had been discovered, but no one knew where they flowed. Oxley had tried to solve this mystery by travelling along the Lachlan and Macquarie Rivers, but each time he was blocked by swamps. One of our greatest explorers, Charles Sturt, (1795-1869) set out to try and find where these rivers flowed. Sturt was born in India and educated in England. He joined the army before coming to Australia. On his first expedition he had explored along the Darling River. On his second expedition he decided to find out whether the Murrumbidgee ended in swamps, or flowed into an inland sea.

They told him of a large river which flowed to the south-west. Reaches the Murrumbidgee 25 December 1829: Sturt finds that the Lachlan flows into the Murrumbidgee.

Extractions: Charles STURT (1795-1869) Read ebooks by Charles Sturt A severe drought in New South Wales in 1826-7-8 led to the discovery of the River Darling. In 1818, an earlier explorer. Oxley, had been prevented by swamps from continuing his survey of the Macquarie River. Governor Darling, thinking that the prolonged drought might have dried up the swamps, appointed Captain Charles Sturt to complete Oxley's work. Sturt left Wellington, N.S.W., in December, 1828, and, proceeding past the marshes which Oxley had considered to be the termination of the Macquarie, followed the course of the Bogan River, dry except for occasional pools, until in February, 1829, he reached a river which he named the Darling. On a later expedition, Sturt followed the Murrumbidgee River down to its junction with "a broad and noble river" which he named the Murray. Actually it was the same river that the explorers Hume and Hovell had crossed in 1824, and called the Hume. Sturt explored the Murray down to its mouth. Updated 4 August 04

Extractions: Much of this speculation centred about the possibility of a large inland sea. This was reinforced by the number of westward-flowing rivers whose outlets were unknown. On November 10, 1828, Sturt and twelve men set out from Sydney to follow the Macquarie River inland. 1828 was a year of severe drought and the river soon turned into swamp country, but the explorers continued north-west and came across a mighty river. Charles Sturt had become the first European to see the river he named the Darling. The group returned to Sydney in April 1829 and Sturt was now more convinced than ever that the Darling and other rivers of the south-east might drain inland. In November 1829 Sturt used the Murrumbidgee River to cut across to the Lachlan River. On the banks of the Murrumbidgee, Sturt and his seven companions put together a boat they had brought with them from Sydney, and proceeded downstream. On January 14, 1830, they entered a wide new river which Sturt named the Murray, and a few days later they sighted another river flowing into it which Sturt excitedly and correctly assumed to be the Darling. In August 1845 when rain eventually came, Charles Sturt and four others set out again but after 725 km were forced to turn back. The men were suffering terribly from scurvy, and Sturt was almost blind. They had reached the edge of the Simpson desert and would almost certainly have died if they had gone any further. By the time they reached Adelaide on January 19, 1846, Sturt was severely burnt by the sun, nearly blind, and had to be carried on a stretcher.
