Answer 1

* In 1813, Evans followed the route of Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth who had crossed the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. He left Sydney with five men on 19 November 1813, and soon reached a mountain which he named Mt Blaxland, which was the end-point of Blaxland, Lawson & Wentworth's explorations. He then headed southward into hilly country, and found a waterway which he called the Fish River, being full of fish. Following the Fish River west to its junction with the Campbell River on 6 December 1813, he named the large river formed by the union of the two smaller streams the Macquarie River, after Governor Macquarie. The plains surrounding the river were rich with lush vegetation, indicating fertile soil, and he named them the Macquarie Plains. finding rich farming land in the Hartley Vale region, and later finding the Macquarie River. * In 1817, Oxley and Evans attempted to follow the flooded Lachlan River. * In 1818, Evan was Oxley's second-in-command on the journey to trace the Macquarie. Oxley was slowed by impassable marshes and, while trying to find a way around them, he sent Evans to the north-east. Ten days later, Evans returned to report that on 12 July 1818, he had found another river and better pasture country. Evans named the river the Castlereagh after Lord Castlereagh, Secretary for the Colonies.
