| The vast deserts of Outback Australia hold many secrets, but thereâ s one great mystery which stands out among all others â the mystery of the lost Leichhardt expedition. In April 1848 Ludwig Leichhardt and six other men set out westward from the Queensland frontier, heading for Swan River settlement in Western Australia. They never arrived. Somewhere in the immensity of the Outback, then almost completely unknown to Europeans, the entire expedition disappeared. This book draws together and summarises all the search expeditions, assesses the validity of all the claimed â Leichhardtâ relics and the various theories proposed â all the attempts to answer the perplexing question , Where is Dr Leichhardt? |
