Quick Summary

Sturt National Park is a national park in New South Wales, Australia, covering approximately 1,200 square miles (3,100 square km). It commemorates the achievements of the Australian explorer Charles Sturt, whose expeditions in the 1820s and 1830s were crucial in mapping extensive areas of land for development in New South Wales and South Australia. Sturt's explorations included tracing rivers like the Murrumbidgee and Murray, and he later led an expedition towards the edge of the Simpson Desert.1
