Description

In 1860, an expedition led by Robert O'Hara Burke walked off the map and into unknown territory. Along the way, William John Wills was appointed second-in-command. Their journey would not be easy. Death was a constant possibility from lack of food and water, hostile Indigenous tribes and a landscape completely alien to their original homelands. This is the story of what happened to Burke and Wills and the men who followed them.
