ABOUT CSU :
Charles Sturt University (CSU) has grown to become one of Australia's national
universities, transcending national and international borders to offer courses
throughout the world through on campus, study centres, distance education or
course provider study options.
HISTORY :
Charles Sturt University was established in July 1989 with the amalgamation of
Mitchell College of Advanced Education at Bathurst and Riverina-Murray Institute
of Higher Education with campuses at Wagga Wagga and Albury. The new university
was named after Charles Sturt, the nineteenth century explorer who was among the
first Europeans to traverse the territory served by the University.
Charles Sturt's first expedition in 1828 followed the Macquarie River through
the Macquarie Marshes to the Darling River traversing the region of the
Macquarie, Bogan and Castlereagh Rivers.
His second expedition, 1829-30, traced the Murrumbidgee River to its junction
with the Murray River and thence to the mouth of the Murray at Lake Alexandrina.
And in 1838 Sturt overlanded cattle to Adelaide choosing to follow the Murray
River rather than the more usual route along the Murrumbidgee River in order to
map the course of the Murray above its junction with the Murrumbidgee.
Sturt wrote and published only two books - the Journals of his expeditions into
Southern Australia and Central Australia. His life story, his work, his ideas
and interests, his hopes and fears must be sought also in the official documents
and the private correspondence which has survived in archival collections in the
United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
The story of Charles Sturt has fascinated all kinds of people and there is a not
inconsiderable body of published material available. The Royal Geographical
Society of London published accounts of his expeditions into southern and
central Australia in the 1830s and 1840s. Articles and monographs since that
time in a variety of sources have recounted and assessed his life, his work and
his influence, and have retraced his journeys. Charles Sturt University seeks to
identify and collect this material, in original or copy, to bring together and
make available a body of information about Sturt the man; Sturt the explorer;
Sturt the extraordinary person after whom the University is named.
