Alfred Gibson (c. 1851 – 1874) was an Australian explorer who is believed to have died in an 1874 expedition organised by Ernest Giles, which sought to cross the deserts of Western Australia from east to west. Gibson departed from his companions on 22 April 1874 and was never seen again. The Gibson Desert into which he disappeared, was named after him by his fellow explorer. Giles wrote:

  • Alfred Gibson (* unbekannt in Australien; † 1874 in der Gibsonwüste, Australien) nahm 1873 an einer Expedition zur Erkundung der australischen Wüsten im zentralen Australien teil. Er starb im Verlauf der Expedition. Zu seiner Erinnerung benannte der Entdeckungsreisende Ernest Giles die Gibsonwüste nach ihm. Die Expedition von Ernest Giles und seinem Stellvertreter hatte im März 1873 die Absicht, von Alberga River in South Australia nach Perth in Western Australia und zurückzureisen. Gibson hatte sich freiwillig gemeldet und die Aufgabe erhalten,/ die Transporttiere zu betreuen, da er etwas von Tieren verstand. Aufgrund widriger Umstände, wie Mangel an Trinkwasser und Verpflegung, Angriffen von Aborigines, Fliegen und Termiten war die Expedition in Schwierigkeiten. Giles und Gibson waren zu zweit vorausgeritten, um das Gelände zu erkunden. Dabei starb Gibsons Pferd und Giles schickte ihn mit seinem eigenen Pferd ins Lager zurück, um Hilfe zu holen. Als Giles acht Tage später zu Fuß und fast völlig erschöpft dort wieder eintraf, war Gibson nicht angekommen. Trotz mehrtägiger Suche wurde er nicht mehr gefunden. Giles musste daher annehmen, dass er ums Leben gekommen sei. Die Rückreise der Expedition begann am 21. Mai 1874. Die Expedition kam, ohne ihr ursprüngliches Ziel erreicht zu haben, am 13. Juli 1874 in Charlotte Waters im Northern Territory an. (de)

Gibson departed from his companions on 22 April 1874 and was never seen again. The Gibson Desert into which he disappeared, was named after him by his fellow explorer. Giles wrote: "Here a short young man accosted me, and asked me if I did not remember him, saying at the same time that he was 'Alf'. I fancied I knew his face, but thought it was at the Peake that I had seen him, but he said "Oh no, don't you remember Alf with Bagot's sheep at the north-west bend of the Murray? My name's Alf Gibson, and I want to go out with you." I said, "Well, can you shoe? Can you ride? Can you starve? Can you go without water? And how would you like to be speared by the blacks outside?" He said he could do everything I had mentioned, and he wasn't afraid of the blacks. He was not a man I would have picked out of a mob, but men were scarce, and as he seemed so anxious to come, and as I wanted somebody, I agreed to take him." Gibson disappeared when he left Ernest Giles with a compass and his horse, going back to fetch some water for himself, the mare and Giles, leaving Giles walking. Gibson is thought to have lost his way, and was considered dead as he did not return. (en)
