On 31st of October, John Oxley married Emma Norton at St Philip's Church. They had two sons, John and Henry, but earlier Oxley had two daughters by Charlotte Thorpe and one by Elizabeth Marnon. He kept a little town house in Sydney, opposite St James's Church.

The first person to circumnavigate Tasmania in a small vessel called the Tom Thumb was Sydney Parkinson in 1773, accompanying Captain James Cook on his second voyage of discovery. The journey took around three weeks and covered a distance of approximately 1,100 miles. The voyage provided valuable information about the coastline and geography of Tasmania.

William Bligh, the British naval officer who is best known for his role in the mutiny on the Bounty, had seven children with his wife, Elizabeth.

Adelaide Ormond and Edward John Eyre did not have children together. Edward John Eyre had a son from a previous marriage named Edward John Eyre Jr.

No, John Oxley did not discover the Bogan River. The Bogan River was known to the Aboriginal people who inhabited the area long before European settlement. John Oxley was an explorer and surveyor in colonial Australia, but he did not discover the Bogan River.

Captain Charles Sturt is buried in a cemetery in the city of Cheltenham, South Australia.

Hume and Hovell hoped to find a feasible overland route from Sydney to the southern coast of Australia, which would facilitate trade and open up new areas for settlement. They also hoped to explore and document the landscape, geography, and natural resources of the region.

Together with George Bass, Matthew Flinders completed much sea exploration around Australia, adding to the knowledge of the coastline, and producing accurate maps. Flinders, together with Bass, was the first to prove that Van Diemen's Land, or Tasmania, was an island and not connected to the mainland.

Flinders was also the first to circumnavigate the continent, and between December 1801 and June 1803, he charted most of the coastline of Australia.

Matthew Flinders is important because he made a significant contribution to the exploration and mapping of the continent. He explored and charted the coast north and south of Sydney. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Flinders circumnavigated and charted the entire coastline of Australia, filling in the gaps of what was known about the continent. He was also the one who suggested the name Australia for the continent.

Some of his exploration and discoveries were as follows:

Flinders, together with Bass, proved that Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) was an island, and not connected to the mainland.

Flinders explored Moreton Bay in what is Queensland's southeast, naming several points of interest. He landed at, and named, Red Cliff Point, now Redcliffe, just north of Brisbane, as well as Coochiemudlo Island.

While circumnavigating Australia, Flinders spent three weeks exploring and charting King George's Sound, now Albany, in Western Australia.

He discovered and named Kangaroo Island off the South Australian coast.

He spent several days exploring and mapping Port Phillip Bay, where the city of Melbourne now stands.

The practical reason for Matthew Flinders's voyages was to chart the Australian coastline and fill in the gaps left by previous English and Dutch explorers. This was the task for which he was commissioned.

Personally, however, while Matthew Flinders was inspired by reports of Captain James Cook's voyages, it was after reading Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" that he decided he wanted to be an explorer and sailor.

No. Sea explorer Matthew Flinders always had a substantial crew. At one stage, even his brother Samuel travelled with him. He was also known for travelling with George Bass to prove that Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) was an island.

Matthew Flinders first came to Australia in 1791 with Captain Bligh aboard the ship Providence, where he came across part of the southeast coast of Tasmania. He learnt a great many of his sailing skills under Bligh's tutelage.

The first known explorer to circumnavigate the Australian continent was Matthew Flinders. Flinders sailed around Australia in the ship The Investigator between 1801 and 1803, filling in many of the gaps left by previous explorers. Flinders was the one who first proposed the name "Australia" for the continent.

George Bass never journeyed around Australia.

Sometimes in conjection with his friend Matthew Flinders, Bass mostly explored the coastline south of Sydney between 1795 and 1797.

This culminated in a voyage in which he sailed under the south coast of Australia as far as Westernport which suggested a strait existed between New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania.)

This was proved beyond doubt when he again teamed up with Matthew Flinders in 1798 and they circumnavigated Tasmania. The strait was then named for Bass.

It was Matthew Flinders who went onto circumnavigate Australia between 1801 and 1803. Bass had no part in that voyage.

Matthew Flinders named many places, among them the following: * On 17 July 1799, Matthew Flinders landed at and named Red Cliff Point, now Woody Point and a suburb of Redcliffe, north of Brisbane. * James Cook had named "Glass House Bay", which Flinders renamed Moreton Bay in 1799. As he sailed out of the bay, he also named Moreton Island, because he believed Cook would have done so, had he realised it was an island and not part of the mainland. * Also in 1799, an incident with aborigines on the south western side of Bribie Island caused Flinders to name the spot Skirmish Point. * Between Bribie Island and the mainland, a large amount of pumice stone in the area led him to name Pumice Stone River, which is now known as Pumicestone Passage * On 28 January 1802, Flinders anchored in Fowler's Bay on the southern coast, and described it as "a well sheltered cove affording wood and water". He named it after his first lieutenant, Robert Fowler. * On 24 February 1802, Flinders and his crew discovered Port Lincoln, on the southern end of what later became known as the Eyre Peninsula. Flinders wrote that he named it in honour of his native province. * On 8 August 1802, Flinders discovered an excellent harbour, sheltered and deep, on what is now the central Queensland coast. He named it Port Curtis after Admiral Sir Roger Curtis, commander-in-chief at the Cape of Good Hope. The port city of Gladstone now stands at that site. * Australia was previously known as New Holland, and Flinders first proposed the name "Terra Australis", which became "Australia", the name adopted in 1824.

Inspired by reports from Captain Cook's journeys, and wanting to be a sea adventurer and explorer after reading "Robinson Crusoe", Flinders came to Australia initially as an 18 year old Midshipman with Captain William Bligh in the "Providence", in 1792.

Flinders' first voyage to New South Wales, and first trip to Port Jackson, was in 1795 as a midshipman aboard HMS Reliance, carrying the newly appointed governor of New South Wales Captain John Hunter.
