What did Blaxland Lawson and Wentworth succeed in doing?
Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth were the first Europeans to succeed in crossing the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, doing so in 1813. This was after 25 years of Europeans trying to penetrate through to the other side of the mountains.
What made Wentworth Blaxland and Lawson famous in Australian history?
Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth were the first European explorers to successfully cross the Blue Mountains, doing so in 1813. By following the ridges rather than the river valleys, the three men succeeded in finding a way through the mountains which had virtually imprisoned Sydney for 25 years, preventing expansion of the colony and limited the availablitiy of farming and grazing land.
Why did Blaxland Lawson and Wentworth want to reach Mount York?
It is not so much that Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth wanted to reach Mount York - it is that Mt York represented the western end of the Blue Mountains, and hence the way across this range. The Blue Mountains, which had virtually imprisoned Sydney for 25 years, prevented expansion of the colony and limited the availability of farming and grazing land. Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth were meeting a need. As more and more free settlers began to arrive in Australia, this placed considerable strain on New South Wales's resources, and farmers began to see the need to expand beyond the Blue Mountains, which had provided an impassable barrier to the west. Lawson, Wentworth and particularly Blaxland, a wealthy grazier who had come to Australia in 1806, stood to gain much by finding a route to new grasslands on the other side of Mt York.
What did Blaxland Lawson and Wentworth discover?
Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth discovered a route across the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, and in so doing, discovered rich grasslands and grazing land on the other side, sufficient to meet e needs of the growing colony for decades to come. They departed South Creek, Sydney Cove, on 11 May 1813 with four servants, five dogs and four horses. The route they traversed is essentially still the one used by travellers driving over the mountains today.
What did William Charles Wentworth discover in Australia?
William Charles Wentworth did not discover any major landmarks. Wentworth was one of three men who first crossed the Blue Mountains in 1813, sighting good grazing land to the west. For twenty-five years, the Blue Mountains had proved to be an impassable barrier to the expansion of the New South Wales colony, so Wentworth, together with Blaxland and Lawson, was the first to discover a route over the mountains.
Did Gregory Blaxland tell anyone the path through the Blue Mountains?
Of course. Blaxland was a driving force behind the need for new lands, as he was a grazier himself, rather than one of the colony's crop-growers. It would have been of no benefit for him to keep the route a secret. Naturally, the route needed to be reported to George Evans, Deputy Surveyor-General of New South Wales. Evans was keen to progress beyond the discoveries made by Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth so the colony could expand beyond the Great Dividing Range. After following the route himself and surveying it, based on Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth's reports, Evans recommended building a road which would follow the ridge track determined by Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth. Shortly after this, William Cox was commissioned to build the road to Bathurst, using convict labour. The original Great Western Highway was 3.7m wide, covered 161 km and incorporated twelve bridges. It was completed on 21 January 1815. Following completion of the road, Macquarie travelled along "Cox's Pass", taking eleven days to reach the site of Bathurst, where the Union Jack was raised.
What were Blaxland Lawson and Wentworth's problems on their trip?
Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth were the ones who virtually saved the early colony in New South Wales by finding a way across the Blue Mountains. They traversed previously unknown country, and so met with numerous problems due to the unfamiliarity of the countryside and the terrain. The major problem that the three explorers had was continually confronting dead ends. When they followed river gullies, they ended up against impassable cliff faces. When they followed the mountain tops, they often found themselves on the edge of sheer cliffs too steep to take down their horses. Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth were also going through countryside where there were no roads or tracks. They travelled through thick, impenetrable bushland which had to be hacked away with machetes. They would need to leave the horses behind while they hacked a path, then return to the horses, thus trebling the distance they travelled over a day. Mosquitoes were a constant problem. Another fear was aboriginal attack: little was really known about the Aborigines, and it was not really understood that they were just as keen to avoid Europeans as Europeans were keen to avoid them.
Why were they trying to cross Blue Mountains?
In november 1813, Gregory Blaxland, William Charles Wentworth and Lieutenant Lawson tryed to cross the Blue mountains because of the amount of farm lands, they needed more farm lands so they set of to try and get over the mountains, it was very difficult to cross the Blue Moutains in those days!

When did Blaxland Lawson and Wentworth die?
Gregory Blaxland died on 1 January 1853. Always a turbulent and erratic-tempered man, he committed suicide by hanging himself.William Wentworth went on to become a significant figures of early colonial NSW. He died of natural causes at the age of 81 on 20 March 1872.William Lawson also died of natural causes in 1850, aged 76.
Did William Lawson have any trouble going over the Blue Mountains?
William Lawson, together with William Wentworth and Gregory Blaxland, was the first explorer to successfully cross Australia's Blue Mountains, enabling expansion of the new colony to the west. Previous attempts by other explorers had been made, but they always ended with the exploration parties finding themselves faced with an impossible climb up sheer rock faces, or standing on ridges that ended sharply at cliff edges. This was a problem faced also by Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth, but persistence paid off. Another problem was the density of the bush. They had to carry machetes to help hack the thick scrub as they made their way through the bush. Also, there were places where they found they could not take their horses; the hillsides were too steep and rocky. The mosquitoes gave them trouble, teeming thick and fast. And at night, they would hear the sounds of Aboriginal activity in the area, so there was some fear about whether or not they would make it out alive. After some three weeks of exploring through difficult and previously impenetrable terrain, the men reached Mount Blaxland, the end point of their journey, from where they could see the plains to the west, on 31 May 1813.
