Description
An expedition led by Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth in 1813 was the first successful crossing of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales by European settlers. The crossing enabled the settlers to access and use the land west of the mountains for farming, and made possible the establishment of Australia's first inland colonial settlement at Bathurst.
