Long stretches of sticky black mud, bleached white salt lakes, worn out shoes, and starving men with bleeding welts on their feet. A journey into the unknown. This is the story of the Victorian Exploring Expedition: explorers who crossed the "ghastly blank" that was the center of Australia in the 1860s. Join Robert o"Hara Burke, William John Wills, and the rest of their party as they struggle to cross the desert and make it back to tell their incredible tale.
