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.
