thumb John McKinlay (26 August 1819 – 31 December 1872),〔'(McKinlay, John (1819–1872) )', Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 5, MUP, 1974, pp 174–176. Retrieved 2009-10-01 〕 was a grazier and explorer of Australia and leader of one of the search parties for the Burke and Wills expedition. The town of McKinlay in north western Queensland was named for him. ==Early life== John McKinlay was born at Sandbank on the River Clyde, Scotland, third son of Dugald McKinlay, a merchant, and his wife Catherine, ''née'' McKellar. John was educated at Dalinlongart School and migrated to New South Wales with his brother Alexander in 1836.〔 The brothers worked with a squatter uncle until 1840, and afterwards John travelled to the border of South Australia, where he took up land between there and the Darling River.〔 John McKinlay was interested in the Aboriginal people which inhabited the area, and his knowledge of their ways was of great use later when he became an explorer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John McKinlay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
