Gregory Blaxland came to Australia from England in 1806 seeking new opportunities for wealth and land. He eventually became a successful farmer and explorer, known for leading the first successful crossing of the Blue Mountains in 1813.
Gregory Blaxland was a grazier who, like many other graziers in the colony of New South Wales, needed more land. The colony was quickly outgrowing the land available, but it was believed that good land lay on the other side of the Blue Mountains. Therefore, Blaxland, along with William Lawson and William Wentworth, sought to find a route across the Blue Mountains, something that had been attempted by many men before, but always unsuccessfully.
Gregory Blaxland was, first and foremost, a grazier. He only became an explorer out of need - specifically, for the purpose of the expedition to cross the Blue Mountains, in 1813. The reason he wished to find a way to cross the Blue Mountains was because more land was needed for increasing the colony's farming and stock animals. After he, Lawson and Wentworth succeeded in finding a route over the Blue Mountains, he returned to farming and raising stock animals.
