AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Craig Cormick imaginatively revisits Burke and WIlls' expedition to cross the Australian continent in 1860-1, proving thw the past really is a foreign country. With a biting satirical eye, he delves a little deeper into the minds and motives - as well as the myths - of Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills.' (Publication summary)
