1848.

With Baron Von Mueller, the celebrated botanist, and his brother, H. C.
Gregory. North Australian expedition in search of Leichhardt. Proceed
north to follow the Victoria. Reached the head of that stream, and
discovered Sturt's Creek and the Elsey. Crossing the head waters of the
Limmen Bight River, skirted the Gulf for some distance south of
Leichhardt's track, crossing the rivers that he did, only higher up on
their courses. Greatly disappointed with the Plains of Promise--so named
by Captain Stokes. 1855.

Barcoo expedition to trace the course of Leichhardt's party. Confirmation
of the supposed identity of the Barcoo and Cooper's Creek. No fresh
discoveries were made, but the second great inland river system was
evolved. 1858.

Grey, Lieutenant--
Explorations on the west coast. 1837.

Grey, Lieutenant, and Lushington (Second in Command)--
Expedition to verify the existence or not of the large river supposed to

1838.

(Afterwards Governor of South Australia), Started on his second
expedition from the west coast. Encountering great troubles Grey had to
push on to Perth and send back a relief party. A party under Lieutenant
Roe, after some trouble in tracking the erratic wanderings of the
unfortunates, came upon them hopelessly gazing at a point of rocks that
stopped their march along the beach, too weak to climb it. They had been
three days without fresh water, and Smith, a lad of eighteen, was dead.

Kindur, The--
A mysterious river in the unknown interior, supposed to run north-west. A
runaway convict, named Clarke, brought up the story first. He said he had
heard of it from the natives, so determined to make his escape and follow
it, to see if it would lead him to another country. He started on his
adventurous trip and said he followed the river to the sea. When at the
mouth of the river he ascended a hill, and seaward saw an island
inhabited, the natives told him, by copper-coloured men, who came in
their canoes to the mainland for scented wood. He introduced various
details of large plains which he had crossed, and a large burning
mountain, but as he saw no prospect of getting away from Australia, he
returned. Surveyor Mitchell took charge of an expedition to investigate
the truth of his story. 1831.

King, Captain Phillip P.--
(Son of Governor King) In the MERMAID; sailed from Sydney accompanied by
Mr. Allan Cunningham, botanist. His mission was to explore those portions
of the coast left unvisited by previous navigators. Sailing by Cape
Leeuwin, King examined the west and north-west coast, sailing from the
north coast to Timor to refit. 1818. In 1819 he surveyed the
lately-discovered Port Macquarie and visited Van Dieman's Land. Leaving
Port Jackson, Captain King returned to the scene of his labours by way of
the east coast, crossed the Gulf of Carpentaria and discovered Cambridge
Gulf. In 1820 he left Port Jackson for his third voyage to the north
coast; examined minutely the north-west coast. The MERMAID having sprung
a leak, for the safety of the crew, Captain King had to return to Sydney.
A brig was purchased, and rechristened the BATHURST. After surveying the
north-west and west coast--and 'naming Dampier's Archipelago, Cygnet Bay,
and Roebuck Bay, after Dampier and his vessels--he sailed to the

heard tidings of Walker's relief party. He determined then to return
overland instead of by sea. Making for the Flinders, by way of the
Leichhardt, was rewarded, on following up the river, by being the
discoverer of the beautiful downs country through which it runs. From

To the west of Lake Torrens. 1851.

Overlanders--
"The first overlanders with stock from Sydney side to Port Phillip were
Messrs. Ebden (afterwards treasurer), Joe Hawdon, Gardener (of Gardener's
Creek), and Captain Hepburn. This was in 1837, one year before Mr.
Mackinnon arrived in the colonies. In 1838 Captain Hepburn made a second
overland trip, starting from Braidwood, New South Wales, with sheep
purchased from Captain Coghill of that place, and in January same year
(1838), Mr. Gardener started on second trip with 460 head of cattle
purchased from my father, the late Dr. Reid. of Inverary Park, in Argyle;
delivery of same made by myself at Yass end of January month. This trip
with Mr. Gardener so far imbued me with the love for adventure that I
followed with stock the June following, and formed stations on the Ovens
River, near where the town of Wangaratta now stands. The first
overlanders with stock to Adelaide were Joe Hawdon and Eyre, the latter
afterwards celebrated as an explorer. Well can I remember the excitement
caused by the then so-called race, who should be first to Adelaide,
Hawdon or Eyre, but Hawdon was too good a bushman for Eyre and had more
experience, and was a better judge of the season (it was a dry one).
Hawdon wisely followed the course of the Murray right to Lake
Alexandrina, and consequently had food and water in abundance. Eyre
crossed from Goulburn to go over the Wimmera Plains--no doubt a shorter
way had the season been propitious, but as it turned out dry he had to
retrace his steps, and follow the track of friend Hawdon. Hawdon by this
time had a long start, and arrived in Adelaide two weeks before Eyre, and
had his stock disposed of. I may remark very few of us overlanders are
now left, but should this meet the eye of any such of 1837 and 1838, I
make no doubt they will remember the facts above stated."--Extract from
