He certainly did.
As one of the early explorers of Australia, Sturt was aware that he needed to cultivate good relationships with the indigenous people. To that end, he took along gifts to give the Aborigines in the hopes of befriending them and learning from them as he explored. This proved to be a wise move. When Sturt reached a sandbank on the Murray River during the month of January 1830, he encountered a large and hostile group of about 600 Aborigines who barred his passageway and waited with their spears held up in threat. One of the Aborigines Sturt had befriended further upstream, a large warrior, came rushing out of the bushland, took a flying dive into the water and swam powerfully up to the group, whereupon he persuaded them not to attack.

Charles Sturt was sure there had to be an inland sea in Australia. Even though he solved the riddle of the westward-flowing rivers (which, unlike rivers on other continents, did not flow towards the coast), and found that the inland river system did not lead to an inland sea, this was something Sturt continued to search for. Fifteen years after his major expedition which traced the Murray River, Sturt still believed there had to be an inland sea, and travelled into the desert country of central Australia - but of course, he never found an inland sea.
