Calvert Expedition
The Calvert Scientific Exploring Expedition took place in central and northern Western Australia in 1896 and 1897, using camels as the principal means of transport.
==Aims and personnel==
The expedition was financed by Albert Frederick Calvert (20 July 1872 – 27 June 1946), a London-based mining engineer and author, and conducted under the auspices of the South Australian Branch of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia. Its main aim was to build on the achievements of the 1891 Elder Expedition in exploring a still largely unknown inland area of Western Australia, mainly in the Great Sandy Desert. Other aims included, as well as the collection of scientific specimens, finding evidence of the fate of the lost Leichhardt expedition of 1848, and opening a stock route between the Northern Territory and the Western Australian goldfields.〔Birman, Wendy, ('Calvert, Albert Frederick (1872–1946)' ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, accessed 26 May 2012.
