Where did Charles Sturt go on his expedition to the Darling River?
Captain Charles Sturt discovered the Darling River whilst tracing the Macquarie River. Following the Macquarie inland, he came to a smaller river, the Bogan, which, due to the drought, was merely a series of waterholes. Sturt followed the Bogan downstream until he arrived suddenly at what he described as "a noble river", on 2 February 1829. This was the Darling, which Sturt named after Governor Darling.

Why did Governor Macquarie order John Oxley to go on an expedition?
It depends on which expedition is meant.Governor Macquarie was puzzled about the direction Australia's rivers flowed. Australia's rivers are unusual because they flow away from the coast rather than towards the coast. On all other continents, the rivers flow towards the sea. Therefore, Macquarie ordered John Oxley to follow the rivers of inland NSW to find out why they flowed away from the coast instead of towards the coast.In 1817, Oxley was sent by Governor Macquarie to follow the Lachlan River, to determine where it finished. Oxley was unable to complete this journey, as his way was barred by huge wetlands.As the Lachlan River expedition was unsuccessful, in 1818, Oxley was then sent to follow the Macquarie River. Oxley had the same problem.
Why did Charles Sturt choose to take on the exploration of the Macquarie River?

Because they appeared to flow towards the centre of the continent, it was believed that they emptied into an inland sea, and Sturt's exploration was to either prove or disprove this fact.
