  • Sturt first traced the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling
  • He discovered that the Murrumbidgee River flows into the Murray (previously named the Hume)
  • He discovered that the Darling River also flows into the Murray
  • Sturt then found that the Murray River flowed to the ocean, emptying out at Lake Alexandrina on the southern coast.
