On Tuesday 23 August 1860, Burke & Wills and their party stayed overnight in Lancefield.

On Tuesday 23 August 2022 David Corke, documentarian and historian of this journey, will talk about his findings in his book, Exploring Burke and Wills: Enigmas and Curiosities. His talk will be held at 1.00 pm at the Lancefield Mechanics’ Institute Annexe.

The cost of the event is $20.00 per person. David Corke’s book will be on sale for $35.00 per copy.

David Corke’s book does not tell the story of the Burke and Wills Expedition; instead it explores several important issues in the very well-known saga — asking questions and probing some apparent enigmas, curiosities, and misunderstandings that have always been part of that tragedy. His book will be available for purchase at the event.

This promises to be a fascinating afternoon about a much-discussed historical event, and we are sure Members and friends will enjoy it.
