Researcher says he's found Leichhardt's campsite: ABC News

There's still things to find out there....

From ABC Website:

A Darwin based academic is confident he has found a campsite of the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt in Kakadu National Park.

Charles Darwin University researcher, Dan Baschiera says he thinks he has found the markings of the famous explorer on a tree in Kakadu.

Mr Baschiera says the tree is on the escarpment near Jim Jim Falls and carries the blaze of Mr Leichhardt.

He says he believes it was Leichhardt's last camp on his successful expedition through Queensland and the Northern Territory in 1845.

"I'm pretty sure. It's in exactly the coordinates that he had on his map. We went looking and came across a tree with a very ancient old blaze on it," he said.

The theory has not yet been confirmed and Mr Baschiera says it will be hard to find conclusive evidence.

"It's going to be difficult. Certainly the blaze looks very geometric and associated with the two L's that Leichhardt would blaze with a small tomahawk, which is what he was using at the time.

"The possibility of fully confirming it may actually still remain questionable."
