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.
