This is the true story of one of the most amazing cross-Continent treks of all time. Of an expedition pitting courage and incredible bravery against the Australian outback - millions of miles of unbearable heat and sand.
It is the epic tale of the fateful attempt in 1860 of an extraordinary band of men to unlock the territory from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria and back to Cooper's Creek in the 'Red Centre'. It is also the tale of Burke, the dashing but inexperienced Irish leader of the expedition; of Wills, his heroic second-in-command; of Wright, but for whose delays all might have been saved; and Brahe, who deserted his post.
Soft cover, fairly good condition. 202 pages, all intact.
