EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the historic expedition led by Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills, the first men to cross Australia from south to north. Taken in Royal Park, Melbourne in 1860, the image shows the intrepid explorers, Burke on the left and Wills on the right, standing before their team and supplies. The sense of anticipation and determination is palpable as they prepare to embark on the arduous journey that would test their endurance and challenge the limits of human exploration. The Victorian era backdrop of the photograph adds to the sense of historical significance, with the men dressed in their explorer's attire and the horses and carts loaded with provisions. The lush greenery of the park contrasts sharply with the harsh and unforgiving terrain they were about to face. Burke and Wills set out on their expedition on August 20, 1860, with a team of 19 men and 27 camels. Their goal was to reach the Gulf of Carpentaria in the northern part of the continent, a distance of over 1,700 miles (2,700 kilometers). However, the journey was fraught with difficulties, including extreme weather conditions, limited supplies, and misunderstandings among the team members. Despite these challenges, the expedition made significant contributions to the exploration and mapping of Australia, paving the way for future expeditions and opening up new territories for settlement. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of Burke and Wills and their team, and the important role they played in the history of Australia. It is a testament to the human spirit of adventure and the enduring allure of the unknown.
