Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Wentworth reached the end-point of their journey across the Blue Mountains on 30 November 1813. It is not known how long it took them to return, but it would have been a much shorter journey than their 17 day journey out.

What did Gregory Blaxland discover?

Gregory Blaxland was one of the first three Europeans to discover a route across the Blue Mountains. This was significant because, after the colony of Sydney/New South Wales had been virtually imprisoned by the mountains for twenty five years, graziers and farmers were now able to expand out into new grasslands and agricultural lands. It marked a new season of prosperity for Australia.

Where did Blaxland Wentworth and Lawson explore?

The expedition of Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth was unusual because it was the first successful European expedition to find a route across the Blue Mountains. Instead of following the river gullies as all previous expeditions had done, the explorers sought a route over the ridges, and this was why they succeeded where all previous expeditions had failed. The route they traversed is essentially still the one used by travellers driving over the mountains today. Their exploration was significant because the discovery of a traversible route over the Blue Mountains meant that the colony of Sydney could now expand to the rich grasslands on the other side.

Why did Gregory blaxland explore the blue mountains?

Gregory Blaxland was a grazier who, like many other graziers in the colony of New South Wales, needed more land. The colony was quickly outgrowing the land available, but it was believed that good land lay on the other side of the Blue Mountains. Therefore, Blaxland, along with William Lawson and William Wentworth, sought to find a route across the Blue Mountains, something that had been attempted by many men before, but always unsuccessfully.
