Burke and Wills Monument
I’m just a little bit besotted with the story of the Burke and Wills expedition Over the years I’ve read everything that I can get my hands on. Lately the explorers have taken my attention once again, as I am thinking about participating in the Burke and Wills Trek in 2015. This trek is a 330k, 12 day team challenge, walking from The Dig Tree, near Innamincka to Birdsville.
As they have been on my mind, I was surprised to discover this monument to Burke and Wills, only about 25 ks from my house.
This monument to Burke and Wills can be found on the Axedale-Goornong Road, just outside Bendigo.

My husband and I found this memorial today and started wondering about how many of these memorial there are throughout Australia and that it would be fun to discover and document them – then I found your blog! I’m looking forward to reading it.
That’s great Jennifer. I’ve often thought I’d love to follow their trail & record the monuments. In retirement maybe. Thanks for your interest
