About this title

Synopsis:

Published by the National Library of Australia. Few colonial events have inspired as many artistic responses as the expedition led by Burke and Wills in 1860 to cross the Australian continent from south to north. This publication, produced in connection with the travelling exhibition of the same name, explores the myths that surround the ill-fated explorers and reveals the creativity Burke and Wills have inspired.
