Summary "Journal of Landsborough's Expedition from Carpentaria, in Search of Burke and Wills" by W. Landsborough is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book details an exploratory expedition undertaken to search for the lost explorers Burke and Wills, following their ill-fated journey through Australia's arid landscapes. The narrative captures the struggles and logistics of the trek, including interactions with the environment, the indigenous people, and the livestock essential for the journey. The opening of the work establishes the context of urgency surrounding the expedition, detailing the assembly of multiple parties launched to locate Burke and Wills after their disappearance. Landsborough's command of one such party is introduced, and the initial details of their transportation to Cape Carpentaria are described, highlighting challenges such as the welfare of their horses and unforeseen shipwrecks. As they navigate treacherous waters, the text sets a tone of adventure marked by resilience and determination to complete their mission, suggesting the extensive trials and explorations to come as they delve into the unknown territories of northern Australia.
