William Landsborough was the first European to cross the country from north to south. In 1861 the Queensland Government sent him by sea to the site of Burketown, from where he was to head south searching for the overdue Burke and Wills.
Travelling on a more easterly route, he did not find the ill-fated explorers, but he did discover rich pastoral country including the Barkly Tableland. His account of this expedition was first published in Melbourne in 1862.
