Why are we named Oxley Museum?
The Oxley Museum is situated at Wellington. The Wellington Valley was discovered by John Oxley, surveyor and explorer in 1816 after passing through very disappointing country. He was very pleased eventually, to come upon Wellington Valley and on crossing the stream, Oxley proceeded along its bank until his path was stopped by "a very fine river", the long sought Macquarie, which at this point equalled in size the Hawkesbury at Windsor and was much larger than the river at Bathurst.
