John McDouall Stuart made a number of expeditions in his attempt to travel south to north across the Australian continent. He first assisted the great explorer Charles Sturt in 1844, and he used his experience from this expedition to help him in his later journeys.
Sturt's first expedition to cross Australia left on 14 May 1858. He reached the location of present-day Coober Pedy before lack of supplies forced him to return just over four months later.
Stuart's next expedition left the following year, in April 1859. He returned three months later.
The third journey began several months later, in August 1859. This time he had to return after surveying the area north of Lake Eyre.
The next journey commenced on 2 March 1860. Stuart reached the centre of the continent on this expedition, but he and his party was plagued by scurvy and aboriginal ambushes, and forced to return.
on 1 January 1861, Stuart made his fifth attempt. This time he reached as far north as Newcastle Waters before lack of provisions and weakness among the horses caused him to turn the party back, on 1 July 1861.
Just a few months later, on 23 October 1861, Stuart made his final attempt to cross the continent. Successful at last, he ached Chambers Bay on the north coast on 24 July 1862.
