Who named the Gibson Desert?
Explorer Ernest Giles named the Gibson Desert after Alf Gibson, a young stockman who accompanied Giles on one of his expeditions, in 1874. On this journey, Giles was attempting to cross the desert from central Australia to Perth, but was thwarted by Aboriginal attack and lack of water. Lack of water caused Giles to send his packhorses back to their camp. A day or two later, Giles's horse was unable to continue, so the men began their return to the base camp, sharing Gibson's horse. On 23 April 1874, Giles instructed Gibson to return to the camp for help, leaving Giles to walk. Giles reached where they had left water kegs and continued on with a supply of water that lasted him six more days. On the third day of his trek, he saw that the packhorses had left their original course and headed south, deeper into the desert. Gibson had followed the tracks. After reaching the base camp the next day, Giles immediately took another man and attempted to search for Gibson, but no trace of him was ever found. In his journal, Giles noted that he named the waterless country Gibson's Desert, "after this first white victim to its horrors".
