William Lawson explored the Blue Mountains largely due to the influence of Gregory Blaxland. Blaxland was a wealthy grazier who had come to Australia in 1806. He stood to gain much by finding a route to new grasslands. Blaxland approached Governor Macquarie about funding an expedition to cross the Blue Mountains. Blaxland took along two other men: William Lawson, who was also a landholder, and magistrate with surveying experience; and William Wentworth, the first Australian-born explorer.
The first explorers in Australia to cross the Blue Mountains of New South Wales were Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Wentworth. They achieved this in May 1813, twenty-five years after European settlement in Australia began.
