Sturt could claim to be one of the foremost explorers of Australia, opening up Australia to settlement by virtue of his expeditions to the Macquarie Marshes, along the length of the River Murray and into the heart of central Australia. He was considered a Founder of South Australia as his book “Two Expeditions into the Interior of Southern Australia” led to the English Parliament to determine that South Australia should be settled as a Province under the Wakefield Plan. A visit to the Charles Sturt Museum will provide an opportunity to experience the idyllic setting and be welcomed into his State Heritage listed home as it would have appeared in those early days of settlement.
