Led by Robert O'Hara Burke, a brave man totally lacking in the bush skills necessary for his task; surveyor and meteorologist William Wills; and 17 others, the expedition took 20 tons of equipment carried on six wagons, 23 horses, and 26 camels . . . so begins the extraordinary saga of Burke & Wills, an ambitious quest with a tragic fate.
