Was Charles Sturt A governor?
No, Charles Sturt was never a Governor of Australia. He was an inland explorer.
Did Charles Sturt find an inland sea?
No. Charles Sturt could not find something that did not exist. Australia has no inland sea. Sturt remained convinced for most of his life that Australia's interior should hold an inland sea. After all, the other major continents had inland seas. Australia could only boast extensive salt lakes and salt pans.
What was Charles Sturt looking for?
Charles Sturt was certain that Australia must have an inland sea. The journeys Sturt undertook to follow the course of the westward-flowing rivers of New South Wales were also to determine whether or not there was an inland sea. Even many years after Sturt had discovered the course of the rivers, he ventured north into central Australian desert in search of the inland sea which, of course, does not exist.
When did Charles Sturt come to Australia?
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.

Why is Charles Sturt's name remembered in New South Wales universities?
Sturt's name is remembered for the significant role he played in Australian exploration. He solved the mystery of where the inland rivers of New South Wales flowed. (Because they appeared to flow towards the centre of the continent, the belief was held that they emptied into an inland sea.) Sturt first traced the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling. The following year Governor Darling sent Sturt to trace the course of the Murrumbidgee River, and to see whether it joined to the Darling. Sturt followed the Murrumbidgee in a whaleboat and discovered that the Murrumbidgee River flowed into the Murray (previously named the Hume), which in turn flowed to the southern ocean. Sturt's explorations opened up the inland waterways for river and paddlesteamer transportation, thus enabling new settlement throughout inland NSW.
Why did Charles Sturt choose to take on the exploration of the Macquarie River?
The exploration of the Macquarie River was undertaken by Charles Sturt in an attempt to solve the mystery of the westward-flowing rivers. 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.

Did Charles Sturt's expedition fail?
No. Charles Sturt's early expeditions were very successful. He discovered and named the Darling River. He also discovered where the inland rivers flowed, as the Lachlan River flowed into the Murrumbidgee River and the Murrumbidgee flowed into the Murray, which then was found to empty into the Southern Ocean. This discovery opened up much of inland New South Wales for settlement, and also led to the colonisation of South Australia. However, Sturt was certain there must be an inland sea, and he explored through the inland deserts in an attempt to find it. He failed to find the object of his search, as no inland sea exists, but he helped map more of Australia's interior.
What was Charles Sturt searching for?
Charles Sturt was searching firstly for a solution to the riddle of Australia's inland-flowing rivers, and for an inland sea. Australia's rivers did not follow the pattern of the rivers of other continents: they seemed to flow away from the coast rather than towards it, and Sturt was determined to solve the mystery of where they went. He was convinced that a continent as large as Australia must contain an inland sea (which it does not), but he found that the inland rivers ultimately flowed into the Murray, which had its mouth on the southern coastline.
