What boat did William Charles Wentworth discover the Blue Mountains on?
William Charles Wentworth did not discover the Blue Mountains whilst on a boat; in fact, he did not discover the Blue Mountains at all. The Blue Mountains held the colonists of the first Australian settlement virtually as prisoners within the sheer rock walls of the mountains from the time it became obvious that more land was needed. All the colonists knew of the mountains, which were quite visible in the distance, with their distinctive blue hue. Wentworth was one of three men who first crossed the Blue Mountains in 1813, sighting good grazing land to the west. No boat was involved, as the expedition had to be carried out entirely on foot and horseback.

Who discovered the Blue Mountain?
The Blue Mountains were known from the time of European settlement in 1788. No single person specifically "discovered" them, but they were a hindrance to the development and expansion of Australia's first settlement, Sydney. The Blue Mountains were successfully crossed by explorers Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth in 1813, some 25 years after the first settlement.
How did William Lawson go about discovering the Blue Mountains?
William Wentworth did not discover the Blue Mountains. These mountains were known from the time of the first European settlement in Australia, and had prevented Sydney from expanding as a colony, because they could not be crossed. William Wentworth was one of the first men to successfully cross the Blue Mountains. He explored with Gregory Blaxland and William Lawson in May 1813. The three men and the convicts who assisted them achieved the crossing by following the ridges over the tops of the mountains.
