What did Major Thomas Mitchell discover?

Major Thomas Mitchell's first expedition was in 1831, to investigate rumours of a north-flowing river situated in northern New South Wales: a river that did not exist, but stories of which were spread by an escaped convict. On this expedition, he discovered the lower courses of the Namoi and Dumaresq Rivers and identified the Upper Darling. Mitchell's second journey, in 1835, departed from Boree Station, to follow and map the course of the Darling River which Sturt had discovered some years earlier. Mitchell was determined to prove Sturt wrong in the latter's belief that the river flowed southward into the Murray, as Mitchell believed it must flow northwest. After travelling for several months and following the Darling for almost 500km, Mitchell was forced to agree with Sturt's discoveries. After Mitchell returned downstream from following the Darling River to see if it did indeed flow into the Murray, he discovered the Loddon River early in July 1836 during exploration south of the Murray. He originally referred to the Loddon by its Aboriginal name, "Yarrayne". This led to his third and most successful journey, when Mitchell discovered the rich farming country of western Victoria, which he named "Australia Felix", or "Happy Australia". Prior to reaching this district, Mitchell found significant grazing land south of the Murray River. South of the Murray he discovered the Avoca and Glenelg Rivers. He then went on to discover the Campaspe and Wimmera Rivers and reached the coast near Cape Northumberland. He also discovered and named the Grampians mountain range in western Victoria. Mitchell's fourth and final expedition was in 1845-1846. He left Orange in central New South Wales in search of a great river that he believed must flow from southern Queensland to the Gulf of Carpentaria. He did not find the river he hoped existed, but he did discover and name the Maranoa, Balonne, Warrego, Culgoa, Barcoo and Belyando rivers, which mostly flowed south-west into the Darling.
