Australian explorer John Oxley went on three major expeditions:

  • In 1817, Oxley was sent by Governor Macquarie to follow the Lachlan River.
  • In 1818, Oxley was then sent to follow the Macquarie River. During the course of this expedition, he discovered the rich Liverpool Plains.
  • On 23 October 1823, Oxley departed Sydney to travel north along the coastline, for the purpose of finding a suitable settlement for a new penal (convict) colony.
