Edwin S. Berry

[1] He was a head of the survey team attached to Goyder's 1869 expedition to the Northern Territory that laid out the plan for the town of Port Darwin,[2] lithographed by F. S. Crawford in 1869.

He was chosen as second-in-charge for Major Warburton's expedition which was to have left Adelaide in early September 1872 for Central Mount Stuart, and thence to Perth.

[4] William Darton Kekwick, originally appointed the party's mineral and botanical collector, was too ill to proceed and died 16 October 1872 on his return to Adelaide.

The party reached a point 600 miles (970 km) west of the Transcontinental Telegraph Line and were forced to return due to lack of available water.

[5] Berry has been named as the first white man to climb Uluru/Ayers Rock,[6] though in his diary, Gosse claims, with an Afghan assistant, Kamran, that distinction.
