Desert, Drought and Death

An account of an expedition through the centre of Australia.

Starting from Menzies, 140 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie, it proceeded in an east north-easterly direction to the Rawlinson Range on the border of Western Australia and South Australia. Then the expedition then travelled easterly along the Petermann Range, south-easterly to the Musgrave Range, then easterly to Alberga River and south-east to the town of Oodnadatta.

Essentially a prospecting expedition, the party was in the field from 29 June 1899 to 30 March 1900.
