What exploration did Robert Bush do to be categorized as an explorer of western australia?SauliH 07:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article already says:
After taking a cargo of horses to Mauritius, he spent six months from October 1879 to March 1880 exploring north of the Gascoyne River.
I have checked against Cameron 1982. Bush undertook three expeditions in the Gascoyne area in search of pastoral land, all in the one trip, but broken by periods of R&R in settled areas. "The trip lasted 146 days and covered 1885 miles; three horses did not return; it was the hottest summer ever known. We found some lovely country.".
