"Burke and Wills: Expedition Off the Map" by Karen Tayleur narrates the ambitious journey of explorers Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills as they attempt to traverse the uncharted Australian interior in the 19th century. The story follows their challenges and adventures, including harsh landscapes, dwindling supplies, and interpersonal tensions.
