What is Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt famous for?
Leichhardt is arguably best known for disappearing in the Australian interior without a trace. Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt, born on 23 October 1813 in Trebatsch, Prussia (now Brandenburg, Germany), was keenly interested in botany. After he arrived in Australia in 1842, he showed an interest in exploration, although he had no bush survival skills. Leichhardt made a total of three expeditions. In October 1844, he left from Jimbour, on the Darling Downs, to find a new route to Port Essington, near Darwin. The 4800 km overland journey reached its destination on 17 December 1845. This was his most famous exploration, as he found and named numerous rivers in Australia's Gulf country, and many people thought he had died on this journey. His second expedition, from the Darling Downs in Queensland to Perth in Western Australia, commenced in December 1846. However, wet weather and malaria forced the party to return after they had travelled only 800km. Leichhardt's final expedition began in March 1848, picking up where his second expedition left off. However, somewhere in Australia's vast outback, Leichhardt, together with six other men, eight horses, fifty bullocks and twenty mules, vanished. Many theories have abounded as to what happened, and many claim to have found evidence of the remains of the expedition, but what really happened remains one of Australia's enduring mysteries.

What happened in Ludwig Leichhardt's expeditions?
Leichhardt made a total of three expeditions. In October 1844, he left from Jimbour, on the Darling Downs, on an expedition to find a new route to Port Essington, near Darwin. The 4800 km overland journey reached its destination on 17 December 1845. His journey took so much longer than expected that a friend of Leichhardt's composed a funeral dirge for him, expecting to never see him again. On this journey, he discovered and named numerous rivers in the north, including the Burdekin, Flinders, Roper and Gilbert Rivers (the latter two were named after two of his men, with Gilbert being one who did not complete the journey alive). Unfortunately, he lost three valuable horses when they drowned crossing the Roper, and this meant Leichhardt had to destroy all his carefully documented and labelled botanical specimens, as the remaining horses could not carry the many extra kilograms of load. During this expedition, Leichhardt's party was attacked by aborigines one night, with the loss of one life, and severe wounding of several others. The attack was thought to have been provoked by some of the party interfering with aboriginal women. Leichhardt's second expedition, from the Darling Downs in Queensland to Perth in Western Australia, commenced in December 1846. However, wet weather and malaria forced the party to return after they had travelled only 800km. Leichhardt's final expedition began in March 1848, picking up where his second expedition left off. However, somewhere in Australia's vast outback, Leichhardt, together with six other men, eight horses, fifty bullocks and twenty mules, vanished without a trace.
