Gregory Blaxland was a grazier. He chose to explore out of need - specifically, for the purpose of the expedition to cross the Blue Mountains, in 1813. The reason he wished to find a way to cross the Blue Mountains was because more land was needed for increasing the colony's farming and stock animals. After he, Lawson and Wentworth succeeded in finding a route over the Blue Mountains, he returned to farming and raising stock animals.
