Has anyone followed (or know) the path of Burke and Wills, and in particular, the part from
Menindee to the Coopers? I have a rough map of their journey but it does not show much detail. I have read Wills' diary but it doesn't show exactly where they went. A mate and I are thinking of following their path but don't have exact details of their camps etc. We are planning to walk sections of it carrying a few days supplies with a backup 4wd carrying the bulk of the food and
water.
Can anybody help with any information?
Thanks,
Bob

Good luck

I think that it was covered fairly
well in the old ABC series "The
Explorers "?
