  DISCOVER MURRAY : rivermurray.com : Captain Charles Sturt's Journey along the Murray River
Charles Sturt was born in Bengal, India in 1795 and educated at Harrow, England.

Sturt's method of charting the river incorporated a sheet of paper and a compass before him, and he marked down not only the river line but also a description of the riverside country.
