Why did Thomas Mitchell explore?

As with most explorers, Major Thomas Mitchell explored in order to find good countryside, as settlers always needed more pastureland and grazing land. However, one of Mitchell's primary motivations was pride. Ever since Charles Sturt was chosen to lead an expedition that Mitchell believed he had earned the right to lead, he sought ways to discredit fellow explorer Charles Sturt. Mitchell was determined to prove Sturt was wrong when he said that the Darling River flowed into the Murray. He felt it was a great indignity that Sturt, whom he regarded as inexperienced, was sent on the important expedition of charting the NSW interior. Mitchell was also a very skilled surveyor and accurate map-maker. If the new country was going to be explored and charted, he wanted to be sure it was done accurately, and he felt that he should be the one to do it. There were also some specific features that Mitchell was investigating. His first expedition was to see if a river named the Kindur existed. The Kindur was described by an escaped convict as flowing to the north coast, and if this was true, it could open up a whole new transport route to the north. (The Kindur did not exist, and the convict was just trying to escape a heavy penalty.) Later, on Mitchell's fourth (and least-known journey), he was hoping to find a great river flowing northwest to the Gulf of Carpentaria for the same reason, but no such river existed.

What major rivers also tributaries of the Mississippi?

Two two largest Tributaries of the Mississippi River are the Missouri River and the Ohio River. The Missouri River intersection is just below St. Louis and essentially doubles the size of the River. The Ohio River (which is joined by both the Cumberland River at Smithland Ky. and the Tennessee River at Paducah Kentucky) joins the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois about 950 Miles above the Head of the Passes. The Ohio River combined with the Mississippi forms what is referred to as the lower Mississippi River and again it doubles in size. There are no locks and dams on the lower Mississippi River. The Ohio River is actually as wide if not wider than the Mississippi River at their junction. A large part of that is due to the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers both very large Rivers in themselves joining the Ohio. The Cumberland joins about 62 miles above the mouth of the Ohio and the Tennessee joins the Ohio River only about 50 miles above the junction with the Mississippi River. Two more good size rivers the Illinois River joins the Upper Mississippi and the Arkansas River joins the lower. There are many more smaller rivers which join. I answered this in a question naming all the Tributaries of the Mississippi River. Captain Jim Turner
