most people know me for exploring the blue mountains. The reason why I did this was because no one had gotten across the Great Diving range before and someone had to find a path so we could find more land to farm on because we where in a drought at the time. There had been several attempts before but they had all failed. I went with two other land owners William Charles Wentworth and William Lawson.I brought with me, my gun with ammunition, five dogs, four horses, four servants,a compass, plenty of food and clothing.It was a very hard journey, considering that we nearly ran out of food, it was hard to find grass for the horses to eat, there was lots of steep land, there was trees everywhere and thick shrub.There is the map i made showing the route we used to cross the blue mountains.
