WILLIAM GOSSE

'William Christie Gosse' (1842 – 1881), explorer, was born in Hertfordshire, England and migrated to Australia with his father in 1850. In 1859 he entered the Government service of South Australia. He held various positions in the survey department, and including Deputy Surveyor-General. He died on August 12, 1881.
Although Gosse's exploration did not add any important new features, he filled in many details in the central map, and was able correctly to lay down the position of some of the discoveries of Ernest Giles, including locating and naming Ayers Rock (now Uluṟu) in 1873.^[1]
