It depends on which expedition is meant. Edmund Kennedy did three expeditions.
1. In 1845, he was appointed second-in-command to Sir THomas Mitchell. The purpose of this expedition was to search for an overland route to the Gulf of Carpentaria, although Kennedy did little more than maintain Mitchell's base camp for four months.
2. In 1847, Kennedy volunteered to continue where Mitchell's previous expedition had left off, exploring the Victoria River. After finding that the Victoria River flowed into Cooper's Creek, he renamed the 'Victoria' the Barcoo, and discovered and named the Thomson River. He then traced the Warrego River as far as he could, until there was nothing left to trace.
3. His final journey was in 1848, when his purpose was to chart the northern coastline from Rockingham Bay to Cape York Peninsula - this was the journey on which he speared to death by hostile Aborigines. Only his own aboriginal guide, Jackey-Jackey, survived this trek.
