The Burke And Wills Yarn
-

Written by:
In 1860, Robert O’Hara Burke and William John Wills set off on one of the most ambitious expeditions in Australian history — to cross the continent from south to north through country largely unknown to Europeans.
Backed by big money, loaded with supplies and joined by a colourful crew of explorers, horses and camels, the expedition left Melbourne to enormous fanfare. But as they pushed deeper into the Australian interior, impatience, brutal conditions and a string of questionable decisions began to turn the adventure into something far more dangerous.
It’s a yarn of exploration, survival, bad luck and decisions that would go down in Australian history — the incredible story of Burke and Wills.
