Burke & Wills 17: Tragowel - Burke and Wills Expedition (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
George Landells, pictured below, was engaged in the horse trade between Australia and India, and was well placed to import camels on his return trips. On the basis of his expertise with camels, he was appointed second-in-command to Burke, and even received a higher salary. His personality, however, was unsuited to his position, and particularly to a leader like Burke. Landells died in 1871. William McDonough was reputed to have known Burke, or at least his family, in Ireland. He was hired for the expedition at £120 per annum. McDonough died in 1904 at the Melbourne Benevolent Asylum.
