Australian Explorers

James Cook never visited or landed in South Australia. The most southerly point he ever sighted was Point Hicks, in the southeastern corner of the mainland. Matthew Flinders was the first to seriously chart and investigate South Australia, doing so in the early months of 1802.

The odd one out is Bob Hawke.

James Cook, Matthew Flinders and Edward John Eyre were all men who explored parts of Australia between 1770 and 1841. Bob Hawke was an Australian Prime Minister during the 1980s.

The objective of Burke and Wills' expedition was not to prove anything: it was more to win the race across the continent.

The Burke and Wills expedition had the potential to be very important to the state of Victoria. Burke and Wills, like John McDouall Stuart in South Australia, were seeking a suitable route for a telegraph line from the southern regions of Australia to the north. A telegraph link to the rest of the world was available off Java, but it had to be linked to a centre in the north, then an overland telegraph line constructed to carry messages down to the main cities in the south.

This would provide a very important link for Australia to the rest of the world, and Victoria wanted to be the first state to receive overseas news, as this would be a psychological advantage for the state. It also could have been the winning card to tip the authorities in favour of making Melbourne Australia's national capital in the future, over the larger and older Sydney (as it was, neither Melbourne nor Sydney was chosen).

Both South Australia and Victoria were vying to be the first to make a successful crossing of the continent, and both states offered sizable rewards. Burke and Wills represented the Victorian bid to cross the continent. In the end, due to their premature deaths, the Burke and Wills expedition sadly had no lasting importance or significance for Australia, except in history books.

yes he did 4 brothers andd 5 sisters ask another question

Yes. Ludwig Leichhardt was on his third and final expedition when he disappeared. His final expedition began in March 1848. The last sighting of Leichhardt, six other men, fifty bullocks, twenty mules and seven horses was made as they departed Roma, Queensland, on 4 April 1848. Somewhere in Australia's vast outback, the entire party vanished.

Many theories have abounded as to what happened, and many claim to have found evidence of the remains of the expedition, but what really happened remains one of Australia's enduring mysteries.

October 1823.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was enacted in 2002 to enhance corporate governance and accountability in response to financial scandals, such as Enron and WorldCom. Its intended outcomes include improving the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting, establishing stricter regulations for financial disclosures, and protecting investors from fraudulent accounting practices. By imposing stringent penalties for non-compliance, SOX aims to restore public trust in the financial markets and ensure ethical behavior among corporate executives and boards.

Ludwig Leichhardt made three expeditions to inland Australia. His first, and most important, was in October 1844, when he left from Jimbour on the Darling Downs, Queensland, on an expedition to find a new route to Port Essington, near Darwin. He was hoping to find a route which could be used for overlanding sheep and cattle, to speed up transportation of livestock and goods across inland Australia, instead of having to rely on shipping.

On 7 December 1846, Leichhardt departed from Jimbour Station on his second expedition. He planned to cross Australia from east to west, hoping to be the first to cross Australia in this fashion. However, the expedition was hard hit by sickness, paper-wasp bites, wet weather, malaria and discontent among his men after travelling only 800km. Thus, his final expedition which began in March 1848, picked up where his second expedition left off.

because someone had to explore the blue mountains

i dont know you tell me

he arrived in 1823

No.

Burke and Wills hoped to be the first explorers to cross overland from the south of Australia to the north. They departed from Melbourne and reached the Gulf of Carpentaria, but due to a series of misunderstandings and miscommunication, the relief party never reached Burke and Wills, and the men died out in the desert, on the banks of Cooper Creek. The only one of the party who travelled to the Gulf and back and survived was John King, who was cared for by Aborigines.

Just one. Oxley discovered and named the Bogan River in 1817.

I can only think that you mean the French whaling vessel that he and Wylie met at Rossiter Bay. If that is the case, that it was called the Mississippi. Eyre named the Bay after the captain of the Mississippi.

It took John McDouall Stuart five attempts before he succeeded in crossing Australia from south to north and back again.

Yes. Explorers Burke and Wills did reach the Gulf of Carpentaria, but dense mangroves prevented them from actually seeing the ocean.

Burke and Wills did not survive the journey back to Melbourne.

HE followed the lachlan river

Edward Eyre was the first European explorer to travel overland from east to west. Departing from Streaky Bay on the west coast of what is now the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, he made a long and arduous journey over the Nullarbor Plain to Albany, Western Australia.

Accompanying him was his overseer John Baxter, two NSW aboriginal men, Joey and Yarrie, and a Western Australian Aborigine, Wylie. While on the Nullarbor, Joey and Yarrie shot and killed Baxter and ran away with guns and food, leaving Eyre and Wylie to carry on alone.

No-one died on the journey across the Blue Mountains in 1813. All the people in the expedition returned safely.

Edward Eyre's main achievement was being the first European to successfully cross Australia overland from east, near Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula, to west, near Albany in Western Australia.

He had originally attempted to be the first to cross the Australian continent from south to north, but was stopped by salt lakes.

Matthew Flinders circumnavigated the entire continent of Australia in 1801-1802.

he sailed on friendship

Hamilton Hume was born in Australia. He was a "currency lad", on 19 June 1797 near Parramatta, New South Wales.
