- This video traces the route of the ill-fated expedition of Burke and Wills from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. The journey, in 1860, took them to Swan Hill, Menindee, Cooper Creek to the Gulf and back to Cooper Creek to the famous Dig Tree. In this video we follow the route of Burke and Wills with a modern convoy, starting in Melbourne and finishing at Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria.
