He participated in several surveys in difficult country around Sydney and in tracing the Abercrombie River south from Bathurst, his skill as a surveyor being noted by Surveyor-General Thomas Mitchell. In 1836 Stapylton was appointed second-in-command to Mitchell on his Australia Felix expedition to Victoria, often finding himself in charge of the base camp rather than in the forward exploring party. He later worked for the colonial Governments of Victoria and Queensland and died when surveying the coastal area south of Brisbane.
