Burke & Wills 88: Tilcha Waterhole - Burke and Wills Expedition (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
From Wills' diary from May 11: "To day Mr Burke and King started down the creek for the Blacks' camp determined to ascertain all particulars about the nardu. I have now my turn at the meat jerking, and must devise some means for trapping the birds and rats. What a pleasant prospect, after our dashing trip to Carpentaria, having to hang about Cooper Creek living like the Blacks." They had several campsites around the Tilcha Waterhole, with Junction Camp the primary one. Wills spent a week trekking back and forth to the Depot upstream to update his notes for possible rescuers, and when he got back he discovered that Burke had accidentally burned down their gunyah (shelter of boughs), destroying all their gear save a revolver and rifle.
