ACHASSK110 – The role that a significant individual or group played in shaping a colony
” The horrendous return journey awaited him like a brown snake crouched in steely anticipation below a rusty, shearing shed door. It would bring John McDouall Stuart, my brother, close to death. He was convinced the Australian outback would be his final resting place..”
John Stuart is one of Australia’s great explorers. He achieved what others thought impossible by crossing the continent from south to north. His objective was to find the best route for an overland telegraph which would connect Australia with the rest of the world, ending decades of isolation.
After reading the heartfelt letter from John’s sister, Mary, students will gain a better understanding of Stuart’s achievements. His significant contribution to Australia’s development had an enormous impact on his health and wellbeing.
