Information

Burke and Wills camped here on 8/2/1861. From camp 117 to camp 118 Wills was expecting to find evidence of Gregory (an explorer) who had walked near here in 1856. Gregory had also noted that the land was fertile. However they did not find any trace of it. They were now less than 36 miles from the ocean. The water in the river was brackish so they knew they were close.
