Burke & Wills

Director Graeme Clifford re-creates the tragic 1860 expedition that took the lives of explorers Robert Burke (Jack Thompson) and William Wills (Nigel Havers) in their attempt to be the first men to trek across the Australian interior. The lushly photographed historical film shows off the untamed Outback, making it clear how the hard-headed Burke became a casualty of his own poor choices in a region where there was no room for mistakes.
