John McDouall Stuart [duplicate copy at PRG 458/1/2/5]. Copy of an original photograph of J McDouall Stuart while at "Green Patch" Port Lincoln. Stuart had injured his hand and arm. He arrived in South Australia in 1839 and joined a surveying party with Charles Sturt to the centre of the continent. He carried out six expeditions altogether. He reached the Indian Ocean in 1862 after leaving Adelaide in 1861. For this mammouth effort he was awarded the interest only on two thousand pounds and his party had to share one thousand and five hundred pounds between themselves. Later, exhausted and white haired and almost blind, he was awarded a further one thousand pounds but again he only received the interest on the amount. He is remembered as a controversial figure, lonely and independent with a fierce pride and was the most accomplished of all Australia's inland explorers
