Information

Burke and Wills arrived at camp 34A as it is now called on Sunday 14/10/1860. They were staying on the Meninda Plains station land and the owner Peter McGregor was not very welcoming. He was worried that the camels that were to arrive later would upset his cattle. As a result Burke made the decision to find a better camp site the next day. Today were they camped is part of the National Park and the camp site number for people to book is No 34! How appropriate.
