Who discovered the Simpson Desert?

The Simpson Desert in Australia was discovered by Captain Charles Sturt. Captain Charles Sturt led an expedition into the desert interior, together with Scottish explorer John MacDougall Stuart. Sturt hoped to find the inland sea which had eluded him since he first followed the Murray River in the late 1820s. All the explorers found was Sturt's Stony Desert and the Simpson Desert. However, Sturt did not name the Simpson. In 1929, Cecil Madigan named the Simpson Desert after Allen Simpson, who was a major sponsor of his desert studies, and the President of the Royal Geographical Society in Adelaide. Prior to this, the desert was named the Arunta Desert after the Arrente aboriginal tribe who dwelt there, and was colloquially known as the "Great Ribbed Desert" because of the ribbed patterns of the sand dunes.
