Gregory Blaxland was one of the first three Europeans to cross 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.
