Charles Sturt was an Australian explorer born on April 28, 1795. He is best known for his expeditions into the interior of Australia during the early 19th century. Sturt's journeys helped to map the region and contributed significantly to the understanding of Australia's geography. He explored major rivers, including the Murray River and the Darling River, and was one of the first Europeans to navigate these waterways. Sturt's explorations took place between 1827 and 1845, and he faced many challenges, including harsh weather and limited supplies. His work laid the groundwork for future settlement and development in Australia. Sturt passed away on June 16, 1869, leaving a legacy as a key figure in Australian exploration.
