	Ludwig Leichhardt
		Ludwig Leichhardt (1813-1848) was a German explorer and scientist who came to Australia in 1842 to study its rocks and wildlife.
		Leichhardt was a very poor bushman and the party was always becoming lost.
		In 1846, Leichhardt set out on his first attempt to cross Australia from the Darling Downs in Queensland to the Swan River in Western Australia, but was forced to turn back because of the heat and drought.

		Leichhardt was an enthusiast for exploration and a skilled botanist, in which latter capacity he had expected to be accepted by Mitchell, to whom he had brought a letter of introduction from Professor Owen.
		Leichhardt was about to sacrifice his last beast of burden —a bullock —to provide meat for his half-starved party, when, most encouraging sign of all, a herd of buffaloes, of the Indian species, originally imported to feed the people at the Port Essington establishment, and since run half-wild, was sighted.
		Leichhardt referred in a somewhat satirical way to the processional nature of Mitchell’s expeditions, and Mitchell laid no bounds upon the terms in which he criticised the circuitousness of Leichhardt’s "direct" route to Port Essington.

	Ludwig Leichhardt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt (October 23, 1813 - 1848?) was a Prussian explorer and naturalist.
		After recovering, Leichhardt spent 6 weeks in 1847 to examine the course of the Condamine River and the country between the route of another expedition led by Mitchell in 1846 and his own route, covering nearly 1000 km.
		The mystery of Leichhardt's fate remained in the minds of explorers for many years: during David Carnegie's 1896 expedition through the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts, he encountered some Indigenous Australians who had amongst their possessions an iron tent peg, the lid of a tin matchbox, and part of the ironwork of a saddle.

		Leichhardt went to London in 1837, stayed for some months with William Nicholson at Clifton, was then in London for a period, and in July 1838 went to Paris with Nicholson.
		Leichhardt was then able to record that he had discovered a road from the eastern coast of Australia to the Gulf of Carpentaria, with water all the way in country available for pastoral purposes.
		Leichhardt returned to Sydney a few months later and towards the end of 1847 learned that he had been awarded gold medals by the Geographical Societies of London and Paris, and that he had been pardoned by the German government for his evasion of military service.

	Leichhardt - Australian Explorer
		The journeys of Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt have captured the imagination of many, both in his own time and in the century and a half since he began his expeditions through Queensland.
		Born in Trebatsch, Prussia, in 1813, the enthusiastic young Ludwig was student at the Universities of Berlin, Göttingen and institutions in London and Paris from 1832 until he left Europe in a desperate bid to find a fresh field for his research, put his skills to good use and make a name for himself.
		Leichhardt certainly made the name he wished for with this tremendous achievement, but he lost his life while pursuing his next objective, crossing the continent from Brisbane to Perth.

		The first European into the area was Ludwig Leichhardt who not only passed through but actually carved his initials in the old coolibah tree which stands right in the middle of the main street.
		Apart from carving the tree Leichhardt, when he did finally get back to Sydney in early 1846, declared that the countryside around Taroom was magnificent and, within months, there was a grab for land.
		The town's bicentennial project was a memorial to Ludwig Leichhardt (a large sandstone slab with three bronze plaques) which is located in the Ludwig Leichhardt park in Yaldwyn Street east of the Leichhardt tree.

		The Central Highlands section through which Leichhardt passed in 1844 was a relatively small section of his long journey from Jimbour Station on the Darling Downs to Port Essington on the Northern Territory coast, but nevertheless, it was a very significant part of the trek.
		While the modern traveller may cover the highway in one day, or spend time exploring welcoming townships along the way, Leichhardt was restricted to only a short distance each day; his party had to prepare their night camp as early as 2 o’clock.
