Geschichte

Barcoo River bei Isisford (2011)

Die erste Erkundung durch einen Europäer erfolgte durch Major Thomas Livingstone Mitchell, der in dieses Gebiet 1846 kam. Mitchell war bei Isisford am Barcoo River als es seiner Mannschaft an Verpflegung mangelte und sie von den Aborigines bedroht wurden. Daraufhin entschied er sich nach Sydney zurückzukehren und komplettierte seine erfolgreiche Expedition, in der er große Gebiete des unbekannten Landes erkundet hatte.[2]
