Notes:
Wilson sailed with Captain Collet Barker in the ship Governor Phillip, to the Swan River in Western Australia. From there he explored the region inland from King George Sound. Captain Barker was the Commandant at King George Sound and provided the provisions for the expedition. Wilson named the hill overlooking the future township of Mount Barker in his honour. During his expeditions Wilson collected seeds and species to bring back to his friend, Allan Cunningham at the Sydney Botanical Gardens. A species of grevillea from Western Australia, 'Grevillea Wilsoni', was named after him. Wilson's inlet in Western Australia is also named after him.
