The book explores the story of expedition leader Robert O’Hara Burke and surveyor and meteorologist William Wills, who – totally lacking in bush survival skills – took 17 other men, 20 tons of equipment, 23 horses and 26 camels with them in to the Australian outback in August 1860.
The event will run from 6:30pm on Tuesday, November 14. Tickets are $50, and include one course and a glass of wine.
They are available from The Bookshop Bowral (4862 1634).
