The classic account of the Burke and Wills expedition across Australia and the fated drama that took place at Cooper's Creek in the remote interior of the continent in 1861.
More than any other incident in Australia's history the story of Burke and Wills - familiar to every Australian schoolchild - evokes the memory of the early settlers and the seemingly insurmountable odds they sought to overcome. From the days the expedition set off from the rich, gold-rush town of Melbourne through the triumphant crossing of the continent to the heartbreaking return to base camp at Cooper's Creek, this is an epic adventure in the grand manner told by a master.
