I want to travel in the footsteps of my namesake Australian explorers Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills and travel through Australia. But unlike them make it back to Melbourne !
In 1860–61, Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills led an expedition of 19 men with the intention of crossing Australia from Melbourne in the south to the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north, a distance of approximately 2,000 miles.
The south-north leg was successfully completed (except that they were stopped by swampland 3 miles from the northern coastline), but owing to poor leadership and bad luck, both of the expedition's leaders died on the return journey.
The travel bug is part of a family of explorer travel bugs who are retracing the footsteps of great explorers sent on their way by GJJLK.
