Charles Sturt was accompanied on his expedition by a team of explorers, including Hamilton Hume and William Hovell. Sturt also had a party of convicts, soldiers, and Indigenous guides that assisted him during his journeys through the Australian outback.
Captain Charles Sturt was born in India in 1795. He came to Australia in 1827, and soon after undertook to solve the mystery of where the inland rivers of New South Wales flowed. Because they appeared to flow towards the centre of the continent, the belief was held that they emptied into an inland sea. Drawing on the skills of experienced bushman and explorer Hamilton Hume, Sturt first traced the Macquarie River as far as the Darling, which he named after Governor Darling. In 1829, Governor Darling then sent Sturt to trace the course of the Murrumbidgee River, and to see whether it joined to the Darling. Sturt followed the Murrumbidgee in a whaleboat and discovered that the Murrumbidgee River flowed into the Murray (previously named the Hume), and that the Murray flowed to the southern coast, being joined by the Darling along the way. Sturt's discoveries were significant, for they allowed for the development of paddle-steamer transportation of goods and passengers along Australia's inland waterways. The exploration also allowed for the opening up of more fertile pasture and grazing land in southern Australia.
Charles Darwin had five siblings: three brothers—William, Erasmus, and Richard—and two sisters—Caroline and Susan. His siblings played various roles in his life, with some supporting his scientific endeavors. Erasmus, in particular, was known for his interest in science and literature, which influenced Darwin’s thinking. The Darwin family was close-knit, fostering an environment of intellectual curiosity.
David Livingstone had six siblings: three brothers and three sisters. He was the second of seven children in his family. His siblings included John, Charles, and Robert, as well as his sisters, Agnes, Margaret, and Elizabeth. The close-knit family background contributed to his strong work ethic and sense of adventure.
