 Walkabout - Blaxland
Blaxland's importance is well summed up in the Australian Dictionary of Biography which records that: 'By 1813 he had come to realise that his flocks of sheep and cattle were expanding beyond the resources of his coastal grant.
Macquarie could not be persuaded to grant extra lands to large flock owners on the coast, and Blaxland thus drew the correct conclusion that the solution to the pastoralists' land problem lay in discovering a route to the interior.
Though as early as 1816 Blaxland claimed to have been the leader of the expedition, contemporary records suggest that none of the three assumed this position but that their effort was a joint one.

New South Wales was the site of the first settlement in Australia and Sydney Cove in 1788.
In the little over 200 years since this tiny beginning it has grown into one of the world's greatest agricultural producing areas with most of the eastern hinterland growing a variety of crops and the more remote western areas farming cattle and sheep.
During early settlement these ranges proved an obstacle to land hungry settlers and it was not until 1814 that Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson found a way over them using a route which is now roughly followed by the Great Western Highway through Katoomba abd the Blue Mountains.
