Come face-to-face with the challenges of Australia's early pioneers Burke and Wills as you explore the Savannah outback and their final campsite, all the while thankful for progress and the comforts you enjoy! You'll be constantly amazed as you learn the history of the area and the way in which the terrain has been shaped by the forces of nature over hundreds of thousands of years. Watch with wide-eyed surprise as you cruise through wetlands where the beady eyes of fresh water crocodiles peer out from the pristine water, keeping an eye on the abundant wildlife surrounding the water source and you!
