What was the purpose of Hume and Hovell's expedition?
The main purpose of Hume and Hovell's expedition was to explore new land with a view to expanding settlement. Hamilton Hume was Australian-born; he was a farmer with excellent bush skills. Hume was interested in exploring south of the region of Sydney in the hope of opening up new areas of land. He was unable to get Government support, but he met up with William Hovell, an English former ship's captain who was keen to assist Hume's expedition financially, and accompany him. The primary purpose was therefore the acquisition of new land, but it was also to find an overland route to the south. Prior to Hume and Hovell's expedition, the only route to the south was by sea. Hume and Hovell discovered and mapped numerous rivers in what is now Victoria, adding to the knowledge of inland Australia.

What are the different historians' interpretations about Hume and Hovell?
Historians and public sympathy shifted dramatically from the time when Hume and Hovell completed their journey, to later, towards the end of both men's lives. Initially, people believed Hovell's account of the journey. They believed that Hovell was the one who named the Hume River (later renamed the Murray, by Sturt); they believed that it was Hovell's idea to transform the bullock carts, using tarpaulins, into floating carts to cross the flooded rivers. The tendency to believe Hovell's account came from the fact that the New South Wales colony was still essentially British, and Hovell was an Englishman. Within a couple of decades, the public and the historians of the time were more inclined to believe Hume's account. They believed Hume had originally named the Hume River after his father, and they believed the novel idea of transforming carts into punts was all Hume's idea. The shift came because people were becoming more patriotic, finding a new identity in the young country of Australia, and they preferred to believe Hume who had been born in Australia.

Hamilton Hume and William Hovell were two significant explorers in early Australia. Several features in the southeastern region of Australia are named after either Hume or Hovell., although Hume, being the Australian-born of the two explorers, seems to have had more places named after him. Possibly the best known is the Hume Highway, which runs from Sydney to Canberra and approximates the route taken southwest by Hume and Hovell. In Canberra, there is the suburb of Hume, while the City of Hume is a Local Government Area in Victoria, in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. The Greater Hume Shire Council is a Local Government Area of New South Wales, Australia, incorporating the towns of Culcairn and most of Holbrook. The Division of Hume is an Electoral Division in NSW, just north of the ACT. Lake Hume is an artificial lake on the Murray River, near Albury, formed by the damming of the Murray. It is interesting to note that, originally, the Murray River was named the Hume River. Sturt, who charted the river five years later, renamed it the Murray. Named after William Hovell is William Hovell Drive, the road between Belconnen and North Canberra. Lake William Hovell is an artificial lake formed by the damming of the King River in Victoria.
