From his former camp at Newcastle Waters, John McDouall Stuart discovered a string of waterholes to the north, allowing the party to achieve their goal of the Indian Ocean, a little to the east of present day Darwin.
Stuart's health rapidly deteriorated after reaching the northern coast and he was carried nearly a thousand kilometres of the 3400km return trip, on a stretcher between two horses.

18 August, 2011 The website administrator announces the completion of the text of the journals of the crossing of Australia from Adelaide to Albany in the years 1840-1 by Edward John Eyre.
In the near future the text of Eyre's book dealing with the customs and treatment of the Aboriginal people will be added, essential reading for the student of present day Aboriginal culture.
Many photos and sketches are at hand and will also be added in due time.
