Information

It is uncertain where Camp 101 was made due to missing pages in Wills Diary. However camp 101 was on 22/1/1861. Today the Selwyn Ranges where Burke and Wills passed though is a mining ghost town. The Corella Dam was built nearby where camp 101 is located. The pictures are of the Dam where I left my caravan so as go into some of the remote 4WD tracks. there were also camels around. Current folklore is that they are decendants of the Burke and Wills expedition that were let loose.
