Australian Explorers - William Hilton Hovell

Design by Janine Evans.

William Hilton Hovell (26 April 1786 – 9 November 1875) was an English explorer of Australia. In 1824 Governor Sir Thomas Brisbane asked Hovell to join with Hamilton Hume to undertake the exploration of what is now southern New South Wales and Victoria in an attempt to obtain more information about any rivers that might run south in the direction of Spencer Gulf.
