According to the passage, the expedition ……...
Australia is a huge country, and the Outback (the Australian word for the interior of the country) is desert. Some years it rains only 8 centimetres in the outback, but other years rainstorms turn the desert into sandy swamps. Until the eighteenth century, only aborigines lived in Australia. These are tall, thin, brown - skinned people, the first people in Australia. When Europeans went there to live, they built towns on the coast. However, by the 1850s, people began thinking more about the interior. In 1860, Robert O'Hara Burke, a police officer from Ireland, was chosen to lead an expedition across the continent from south to north. He took with him William John Wills and 11 other men, camels, horses, and enough supplies for a year and a half . They left Melbourne for the gulf of Carpentaria on August 20, winter in the southern hemisphere.
