If you want to know anything at all about or relating to the Burke and Wills Expedition, you should go to The Burke and Wills Web, or explore the rich legacy held at the State Library of Victoria on its new dedicated website "Dig: The Burke and Wills Research Gateway". And if that's not enough, you can look at other websites listed under the "Explore other sites" menu item.

However, this website does provide a very brief history, an opportunity to "meet the explorers" and a collection of personal stories - oral history about the Expedition.

Most of the historic pictures shown on the right are by permission of the State Library of Victoria.

The water colour of the death of the last camel, painted by George Lambert, is in the collection of the Bendigo Art Gallery.
