English: Plan of River Brisbane and chart of Moreton Bay, as drawn by John Oxley, 1823
John Oxley was Surveyor General of New South Wales in 1823 when, under orders from Governor Brisbane, he sailed into Moreton Bay, looking for a suitable new site for a convict settlement to be established. He was shown the mouth of a large river and guided upstream by some escaped convicts who had been shipwrecked earlier and who had been living with local Aborigines. Oxley explored the river for about 80 kilometres and named it the Brisbane River after the governor. On his return to Sydney, Oxley recommended Moreton Bay as the place for a convict settlement. This happened in 1826. Later the area became the city of Brisbane. |
