Explorer William Gosse, of the South Australian Survey Department, is believed to have been the first European to see Uluru which, at the time, he named Ayers Rock, after the premier of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. Gosse discovered Uluru by accident during an expedition through Australia's interior. He needed to find water for his camels, which caused him to head further south than he had originally planned. Gozse recorded in his journal that, "This rock is certainly the most wonderful natural feature I have ever seen".
