William Lawson, together with Gregory Blaxland and William Wentworth, was one of Australia's first inland explorers. For twenty-five years, the settlements of Sydney and Parramatta had struggled with the increasing demands for grazing and crop land. These men were determined to find a way through the impassable Blue Mountains to the rich grasslands they believed lay inland, and they achieved this in May 1813.
William Lawson was an Australian explorer known for his role in the first European crossing of the Blue Mountains in 1813. His expedition opened up new land for settlement in Australia.
