Original, illustrated Softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. In 1860, an eccentric Irish police officer named Robert O'Hara Burke set out to Melbourne at the head of the most amitious expedition of his age. Up until this point Australia had remained a truly dark continent, but times were changing. On 20 August Burke and his team of eighteen men made a confident start - journeying north towards the Gulf of Carpentaria. Accompanied by William Wills, a shy English scientist, he was prepared to risk everything to cross the continent. Meanwhile, John McDouall Stuart, a dour Scotsman with fondness for the bottle, was already trekking north from Adelaide. The race was on. (Source: Rear book cover)
