Feudal Lordship Of Winterborne Saint Martin - Sturt The estates passed to Humphrey Sturt s younger son Charles Sturt (17641812).He lived at Brownsea Castle in Poole Harbour. Charles Sturt (1795-1869) http://www.martinstown.co.uk/WEBSITE/sturt.htm
Extractions: The family of Sturt Sir Gerard Napier, died childless in 1765, and the estates came to his only surviving daughter Diana, who married Humphrey Sturt , lord of the nearby Manor of Horton. He was Member of Parliament for Dorest from 1745-1786. He owed his wealth to his father, Sir Anthony Sturt, who had been a successful business man and City of London alderman and Victualler to the Navy. The energetic, ambitious and wealthy Humphrey Sturt wanted more than that just one house with a setting of comparable splendour. At Horton he had already created a 200 acre lake, and he resolved to indulge this whim again at Moor Crichel. There was only one difficulty: the cottages of the village were in the way. The site of the fromer village of Moor Crichel now lies submerged beneath the waters of the lake. The entire village was moved to what is now called New Town at Witchampton, leaving only the church (rebuilt in 1850) and a carefully contived landscape in front of the classical mansion. Sturt's solution was simple. The cottages were demolished and the unlucky occupants removed to new cottages at nearby Witchampton. The site of the old village disappeared under the waters of a large crescent-shaped lake, around which was planted an elegantly landscaped park. The residents were moved to houses in nearby Witchampton.

Extractions: Soldier and Explorer Sturt arrived in New South Wales in 1827 and made two journeys into the interior of the continent when he opened vast areas of the Australian hinterland In his first expedition in 1828 he followed the Macquarie River through the Macquarie Marshes to the Darling River traversing the region of the Macquarie, Bogan and Castlereagh Rivers. His second expedition, 1829-30, traced the Murrumbidgee River to its junction with the Murray River and thence to the mouth of the Murray at Lake Alexandrina. Commenting on his own commitment to exploring the interior of New South Wales, Sturt wrote: "A wish to contribute to the public good led me to undertake those journeys which cost me so much. I should exceedingly regret it if it were thought that I had volunteered hazardous and important undertakings for the love of adventure alone . . . though in no case could a career more honourable than that of discovery have been open to me when in 1827 I landed on Australian shores. I sought that career, not, I admit, without a feeling of ambition as should ever pervade a soldier's breast, but chiefly with an earnest desire to promote the public good, and certainly without any hope of any other reward than the credit due to the successful enterprise." In 1838 Sturt overlanded cattle to Adelaide choosing to follow the Murray River rather than the more usual route along the Murrumbidgee River in order to map the course of the Murray above its junction with the Murrumbidgee.

Menindee History Captain Charles Sturt Charles Sturt (17951869), a British military officer, made several explorationsof Australia. On Sturt s first expedition he had explored along the http://www.menindee.org.au/sturt.html
Extractions: On Sturt's first expedition he had explored along the Darling River in 1828 and 1829. Sturt chose the Australian-born explorer Hamilton Hume as his assistant. Illness and water shortages continually delayed the expedition, but, on Feb. 2, 1829, they came upon what Sturt called "a noble river." The expedition was amazed and disappointed when they found the river's water was salty. Sturt named this river the "Darling", after the colonial governor Sir Ralph Darling. Sturt's third journey began in August 1844 with a large party. They took 11 horses, 32 bullocks, 200 sheep, 6 drays, a light cart, a boat and 7 tonnes of equipment. They left Adelaide in 67 degree heat to find the river was almost dry. They followed the Murray to where it joined the Darling. The party took two months to travel from Adelaide to present-day Menindee, on the Darling River. Sturt next explored the Barrier Ranges near the site of Broken Hill. He believed that there was a huge inland sea in the centre of Australia and they then followed the Darling northwards for 6 months, they were trapped by a severe drought at a permanent waterhole "Rocky Glen" on "Preservation Creek". They were forced to stay here because of the unbelievable heat and the lack of water ahead. Some of the men became sick with scurvy and Poole later died. Finally, after heavy rain, Sturt and his companions, set off to travel to the centre of the continent where they suffered terrible hardship. They reached a stony desert now known as "Sturt's Stony desert" and came to the "Simpson Desert".

Extractions: Australian National Botanic Gardens Home ANBG Emblems Floral Emblem of South Australia Sturt's Desert Pea, Swainsona formosa , was adopted as the floral emblem of South Australia on 23 November 1961, using the name Clianthus formosus This species, a member of the pea family, Fabaceae, is confined to Australia, where it occurs in all mainland States except Victoria. The original collection was made in 1699 by William Dampier on Rosemary Island in the Dampier Archipelago where he collected a specimen from: This specimen is now housed in the Sherardian Herbarium, Oxford. The species was for many years included in the genus Clianthus now thought to be confined to New Zealand. Captain Charles Sturt (1795-1869) noted the occurrence of Swainsona formosa in 1844 while exploring between Adelaide and central Australia, and the common name, Sturt's Desert Pea, commemorates a notable explorer of inland Australia, as well as indicating the plant's habitat and family. Sturt's journal, Narrative of an Expedition into Central Australia, refers several times to the beauty of the desert pea in flower and the harsh nature of its habitat, and notes that beyond the Darling River: "we saw that beautiful flower the Clianthus formosa [sic] in splendid blossom on the plains. It was growing amid barrenness and decay, but its long runners were covered with flowers that gave a crimson tint to the ground".
Floral Emblem Of Northern Territory The specific and varietal names, Sturtianum, honour Captain Charles Sturt (17951869).The species was first collected by Sturt in the beds of the creeks http://www.anbg.gov.au/emblems/nt.emblem.html
Extractions: Australian National Botanic Gardens Home ANBG Emblems Floral Emblem of the Northern Territory On 12 July 1961, Sturt's Desert Rose was proclaimed floral emblem of the Northern Territory by the Commonwealth Government which was then responsible for the administration of the Territory. Proclamation was made using the name Cienfugosia gossypioides which is now replaced by the name Gossypium sturtianum var. sturtianum . In an Executive Statement in June 1975, the Majority Leader in the Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory confirmed this species as the floral emblem. Since the granting of self-government to the Northern Territory in 1978, Sturt's Desert Rose has been incorporated into various insignia and so become symbolic of the region. Sturt's Desert Rose has also been known as Darling River Rose, Cotton Rosebush and Australian Cotton. Although less widely used, the vernacular name, Australian Cotton, is appropriate as this species belongs to the genus Gossypium , which includes commercial cotton. However the hairs covering the seeds are much shorter than the lint of commercial cotton varieties.

Extractions: Robert O'Hara Burke (1821-1861), led the tragic expedition that first crossed the Australian continent from south to north. Burke and 17 other men set out from Melbourne in August 1860. Leaving some men at Menindee and others at Cooper Creek, he and three companions pushed on across the continent. They reached the dense mangrove swamps near the mouth of the Flinders River on the Gulf of Carpentaria in February 1861. But Burke and William Wills died during the return journey near where the township of Innamincka in South Australia was later established. Burke was born in St. Clerans, in county Galway, Ireland. He was educated in Belgium and served eight years in the Austrian army, attaining the rank of captain. In 1848, he joined the Irish constabulary. He emigrated from Ireland to Tasmania in 1853 and later went to Victoria. There he became an inspector of police in the Ovens and Beechworth gold-mining districts.
