	John McDouall Stuart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John McDouall Stuart (7 September 1815 – 5 June 1866) was the most accomplished and most famous of all Australia's inland explorers and led the first expedition to traverse the continent from south to north successfully.
		The South Australian Surveyor-General, Stuart's superior officer, was the famous explorer Captain Charles Sturt, who had already solved the mystery of the inland-flowing rivers of New South Wales, in the process discovering the Darling River, travelling the full length of the Murrumbidgee, and tracing the Murray to the sea.
		Continuing to the north-west, Stuart reached the vicinity of Coober Pedy (not realising that there was a fantastically rich opal field underfoot) before shortage of provisions and lack of feed for the horses forced him to turn towards the sea 500 kilometres to the south.

		Stuart's death certificate said that the cause of death was "softening and degeneration of the brain with a final cerebral haemorrhage".
		Stuart became so ill in Central Australia that the party shot a horse for meat and had to string a hammock between two horses because he was unable to ride at all and was convinced that he would die.
		Stuart became abusive to Waterhouse which most members of the party felt was irrational and unwarranted, although it could be attributed to his condition because he later spoke highly of the scientist, although their relationship was always strained.

		On 11 July 1858, John McDouall Stuart reached this point which is his northernmost extension of his 1858 exploration in the hope of seeing something more promising further off in the distance.
		John McDouall Stuart then went on to reach the centre of the continent in 1860, and in 1861-62, he led a series of expeditions which culminated in him reaching the northern coast of Australia.

		Stuart was still making a steady progress north when, on or about 9 February 1861, Burke and Wills tasted salt water in a mangrove swamp, the closest they got to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
		Stuart remained unaware of this, and it would probably have made no difference to him had he known - he was, unlike Burke, a professional explorer.
