Book excerpt: This is an incredible account of the Burke and Wills expedition, organized by the Royal Society of Victoria in Australia in 1860–61. It had 19 men directed by Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills to cross Australia from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. At that time, the interior of Australia had not been surveyed by non-Indigenous people and was strange to the European settlers. This work focuses mainly on the experiences of William J. Wills and sheds light on everything from the origination of the expedition to their return.
