This is the captivating account of the magnificent but doomed quest, led by
Robert O'Hara Burke and William Wills, to be the first Europeans to cross the
harsh Australian continent in 1860. Plagued with disputes and food shortages
they battled the extremes - the searing desert heat, the boggy mangroves, the
flooding rains... Only one man survived the expedition's dash to reach the Gulf
of Carpentaria. Yet despite their tragic fates, the names Burke and Wills remain
synonymous with perseverance and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds.
