Did Wentworth Lawson and Blaxland get to the place they wanted to get?
As a matter of fact, they did. Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth are remembered for being the first Europeans to cross the Blue Mountains in 1813. The trip was difficult, being marked by rough terrain and unbelievably steep ravines and cliff faces, but the three men succeeded in crossing the mountain range that had prevented Sydney from expanding for twenty-five years.
What were Blaxland Lawson and Wentworth's problems on their trip?
Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth were the ones who virtually saved the early colony in New South Wales by finding a way across the Blue Mountains. They traversed previously unknown country, and so met with numerous problems due to the unfamiliarity of the countryside and the terrain. The major problem that the three explorers had was continually confronting dead ends. When they followed river gullies, they ended up against impassable cliff faces. When they followed the mountain tops, they often found themselves on the edge of sheer cliffs too steep to take down their horses. Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth were also going through countryside where there were no roads or tracks. They travelled through thick, impenetrable bushland which had to be hacked away with machetes. They would need to leave the horses behind while they hacked a path, then return to the horses, thus trebling the distance they travelled over a day. Mosquitoes were a constant problem. Another fear was aboriginal attack: little was really known about the Aborigines, and it was not really understood that they were just as keen to avoid Europeans as Europeans were keen to avoid them.
How many tries did it take to cross the Blue Mountains?
To cross from Sydney over the Blue Mountains is a car trip of just a couple of hours, depending on the time of day. However, it took the first explorers in Australia's history 25 years before they successfully penetrated the Blue Mountains.
