Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STUART, JOHN M`DOUALL (1818-1866),
South
  Australian explorer, was born at Dysart in Fifeshire,
Scotland
 , in 1818, and arrived in the colony about 1839. He accompanied Captain
Sturt
 's 1844-1845 expedition as draughtsman, and between 1858 and 1862 he made six expeditions into the interior, the last of which brought him on the 25th of July to the shores of the Indian Ocean at Van Diemen's Gulf, at the mouth of the Adelaide River. Stuart was not the first to
cross
  the
island
  continent from
south
  to north; that honour belongs to the
Burke
  and Wills expedition, which reached the Gulf of Carpentaria on the 6th of February 1861. Stuart returned to Adelaide exhausted and broken, and never recovered from the effects of the
great
  privations which he suffered. He returned to England, where he died on the 5th of June 1866. Stuart was rewarded with 3000 and a grant of i000 sq. m. of grazing country in the interior rent free for seven years. His name is perpetuated by Central
Mount
  Stuart.
