Leichhardt is best known as Sydney's "Little Italy". Although it has become less distinctively Italian with the gentrification of the suburb and movement of families to suburbs with larger blocks of land such as nearby Haberfield, Five Dock and Concord, its Italian character is still palpable, particularly in the popular restaurants and cafes of its main street, Norton Street. Little Italy is a general name for an ethnic enclave populated (or formerly populated) primarily by Italians. ...

Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt (October 23, 1813 - 1848?) was a Prussian explorer and naturalist of Sorb descent.
After recovering, Leichhardt spent 6 weeks in 1847 to examine the course of the Condamine River and the country between the route of another expedition led by Mitchell in 1846 and his own route, covering nearly 1000 km.
The mystery of Leichhardt's fate remained in the minds of explorers for many years: during David Carnegie's 1896 expedition through the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts, he encountered some Indigenous Australians who had amongst their possessions an iron tent peg, the lid of a tin matchbox, and part of the ironwork of a saddle.
Ludwig Leichhardt (1813-1848) was a German explorer and scientist who came to Australia in 1842 to study its rocks and wildlife.
Leichhardt was a very poor bushman and the party was always becoming lost.
In 1846, Leichhardt set out on his first attempt to cross Australia from the Darling Downs in Queensland to the Swan River in Western Australia, but was forced to turn back because of the heat and drought.
