Where did Charles Sturt's expedition go?
It depends on which expedition is meant. Captain Charles Sturt undertook to solve the mystery of where the inland rivers of New South Wales flowed. Sturt first traced the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling. Pleased with Sturt's discoveries, Governor Darling sent Sturt to trace the course of the Murrumbidgee River, and to see whether it joined to the Darling. On this expedition, Sturt discovered that the Murrumbidgee River flowed into the Murray (previously named the Hume), as did the Darling. By following the Murray in a collapsible whaleboat, Sturt found that it flowed to the southern ocean, emptying out at Lake Alexandrina on the south coast. The expedition was valuable for opening up Australia's inland waterways to the transportation of people and goods. Sturt led further expeditions into Australia's interior to determine conclusively whether there was an inland sea, but found only the desert and harsh conditions, completely unsuitable for settlement.
Why did Charles Sturt go on expeditions to the Murray Darling basin?
Charles Sturt's main reason for exploring was to solve the mystery of where the inland rivers of New South Wales flowed. The rivers did not behave like major rivers of other continents - they flowed away from the coast instead of towards it. Because the rivers appeared to flow towards the centre of the continent, it was believed that they emptied into an inland sea.Sturt first followed the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling. Pleased with what Sturt had discovered, Governor Darling sponsored Sturt's expedition to trace the course of the Murrumbidgee River, and to see whether it joined to the Darling. This was in 1829-1830. On this expedition, Sturt discovered that the Murrumbidgee River flowed into the Murray (previously named the Hume), as did the Darling.

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.
