Charles Sturt did not set out to specifically find either the Murray or the Darling River. The purpose of his expedition was to determine where all the westward flowing rivers led.
Australia was an usual country, and quite unlike any others, in that its rivers all seemed to flow away from the coast instead of towards the coast, as they do on other continents. Sturt set out to discover where, exactly, these rivers emptied, and whether or not there was an inland sea. While doing so, he discovered first the Darling River, then the Murray River on another expedition shortly afterwards.

What impact did Charles Sturt have on Australia?
After Sturt came to Australia in 1827, he aimed to solve the mystery of where the inland rivers of New South Wales flowed. The rivers appeared to flow towards the centre of the continent, so it was believed that they emptied into an inland sea. Sturt first followed the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling.Early in 1829, Sturt first followed the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling.Pleased with what Sturt had discovered, Governor Darling sponsored Sturt's expedition to trace the course of the Murrumbidgee River, and to see whether it joined to the Darling. This was in December 1829- February 1830. On this expedition, Sturt discovered that the Murrumbidgee River flowed into the Murray (previously named the Hume), as did the Darling.In the 1840s, Sturt undertook an expedition of his own initiative, to explore the deserts in northern South Australia. He was obsessed with the idea of an inland sea in central Australia. However, he failed to find any evidence of such a sea.
