QUICK LINKS
This is an episodic podcast, so you can listen to it in any order, but episode one is a great place to start.
Listen to episode one hereIt was the most expensive, ambitious — and disastrous —
expedition in Australian history. And somehow, it’s also one of the most
famous.
In this From the Vault Squiz Kids Shortcut, we rewind to
1860 and follow the ill-fated journey of Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills, who set out to become the first white explorers to cross Australia from south to north. What followed was a trail of poor planning, bad decisions, ignored advice — and heartbreaking consequences.
Listen carefully — there’s a Squiz at the end.
