Charles Sturt

The Charles Sturt Museum Historic Precinct, located in Grange, South Australia, showcases the life of Captain Charles Sturt, a renowned Australian explorer.

The Exhibition Gallery houses Sturt's expeditionary artifacts, including Union Jacks, his telescope and compass, part of the whale boat, and dried specimens of Sturt Pea.
