Information

Burke and Wills camped here on 8/11/1860. Without aboriginal guides, the expedition were now uncertain where they would find water going forward. Wills as the surveyor of the party had been making observations and so used his intuition to see forward, observing bird life, animal tracks that would lead the party to water. Camp 55 was made on Tippera Creek which was dry. Day temps were 40C.
