'''Trevarton Charles Sholl''' (7 July 1845 – 1867) was an explorer of [[North-West Australia]] and government official. During the 1860s, he undertook expeditions to the regions known later as the [[Kimberley region of Western Australia|Kimberley]] and [[Pilbara region of Western Australia|Pilbara]]. At the age of 21, Sholl was lost at sea, presumed dead, when the [[List_of_shipwrecks_in_1867#March|schooner ''Emma'' disappeared]].
Sholl, who was born in [[Bunbury, Western Australia|Bunbury]] was the son of [[Robert John Sholl|R. J. (Robert) Sholl]] (1819–1886), prominent as a government official, magistrate and explorer. Trevarton Sholl's siblings included [[Richard Adolphus Sholl|R. A. (Richard) Sholl]] (1847–1919), later Postmaster General of Western Australia and the entrepreneurs and politicians [[Robert Frederick Sholl|R. F. (Robert) Sholl]] (1848–1909) and [[Horace Sholl]] (1852–1927).
In 1865, while working as a clerk for his father – who was [[Government Resident]] for the North District of Western Australia – Trevarton Sholl accompanied [[Alexander McRae (explorer)|Alexander McRae]] on an expedition to the [[Glenelg River]] area. During this period he named the [[Berckelman River]] after his mother, Mary Ann Sholl, née Berckelman (1822-1889). Later in 1865, the Government Resident's camp was relocated from the short-lived [[Camden Harbour, Western Australia|Camden Harbor]] settlement to Mount Welcome (which became the basis of the town of [[Roebourne]]).
During an [[Sholl expedition of 1866|1866 expedition]] with [[Charles Edward Broadhurst|Charles Broadhurst]], Sholl searched for pasture and natural harbours in the area around [[Exmouth Gulf]].
