British explorers Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills set out in 1860 to explore the Australian outback -- they never returned, but their journals tell their story. One year later, a search party led by Frederick Walker left to find them. Though unsuccessful, they discovered what had happened to the intrepid explorers.
