Burke & Wills

We are in Melbourne.  But there are reminders of our trip to Birdsville in 2013.  It was where Burke & Wills began - and ended.  This is the memorial in the centre of Melbourne, with pictures of a couple of the panels.

The panel showing the DIG tree.

This is their memorial in the Melbourne General Cemetery.

And the blurb:

The grave of the remaining survivor - John King.

And a cairn (and the blurb) to mark where it all began in August 1860.  Their point of departure from Royal Park.  They ended up quite close to where they began.

Melbourne is indeed Burke & Wills Town.
