Ludwig Leichhardt

description Ludwig Leichhardt Overview

Ludwig Leichhardt was a Prussian-born naturalist and explorer who became associated with the exploration of northern Australia. In 1844 he led a privately supported expedition from the Darling Downs in Queensland, part of the Moreton Bay district, to Port Essington in the Northern Territory; the party reached its destination on 17 December 1845 after an overland journey of nearly 3,000 miles. He later disappeared during another Australian expedition, leaving the fate of that party unresolved.
