Ernest Giles made several expeditions in the Australian desert. While most of them were around central Australia, in many of them he branched off to Western Australia. His expeditions did much to unravel the mysteries of central Western Australia and the deserts, and he was instrumental in clearing some of the mystery surrounding the inland of Australia.
