He made several private ornithological collecting expeditions across remote areas of Australia, to Alice Springs (1913), Musgrave and Everard Ranges (1914), Cooper Creek (1916), Nullarbor Plain (1917-1918), Finke River (1921), and Adelaide to Darwin and return (1922), on behalf of Gregory Mathews. The White family were among the earliest settlers in South Australia.
John White (? –30 December 1860) arrived in November 1836 aboard the Tam O"Shanter.
Within months of arrival he purchased land which now lies in the suburb of Fulham, naming it Fulham Farm after the suburb of Fulham in his native London.
