This work chronicles the author's two significant journeys into the uncharted regions of southern Australia, providing firsthand observations on the landscape, climate, and natural resources of the colony of New South Wales. Through his explorations, Sturt aims to map the interior of Australia and identify its geographical features, offering readers insights into the burgeoning colony during this period. At the start of the narrative, Sturt outlines the dire conditions faced by New South Wales due to severe droughts, setting the stage for his expeditions. He articulates the motivations for undertaking these journeys, including the desire to explore and understand the topography of the Macquarie River and its tributaries, with hopes that the dry conditions may have diminished the previously impassable marshes. The opening sections introduce Sturt’s preparations, the early experiences with his team as they travel from Sydney to Wellington Valley, and the hospitality received along the route, establishing a context of both challenge and camaraderie that permeates the expedition.
