This is a detailed account of John Septimus Roe`s Great Southern Expedition of 1835, which passed west of Gnowangerup between Talyarup and Martinup en route to Albany, where Roe and his party, including James Stirling, spent time inspecting and mapping the area.

The movement of pastoralists into the Great Southern District followed Roe`s favourable reports of the region's potential. (https://www.monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/landsc...)
