[edit] Summary
| Description |
The south eastern portion of Australia showing the routes of the three expeditions and the surveyed territory. Mitchell's map of Victoria and New South Wales showing towns, major rivers and the limits of the Colony at the time. The map shows in red the routes taken by Mitchell's expedition and camps. Major Thomas L. Mitchell's expedition of 1836 was an exploratory one, the aim of which was to develop and expand the Colony of New South Wales and to seek potential grazing and farming land, as well as sites for new settlements. A landmark in Australian history, Mitchell exceeded his orders and discovered and explored a rich pastoral area which he called Australia Felix (Happy Australia) - now central and western Victoria. This map which he compiled is the first properly surveyed map of this part of southeast Australia and it remained in use for many years. |
