Robert O'Hara Burke and William Wills left Melbourne on Monday, 20 August 1860.
Yes. Explorers Burke and Wills did reach the Gulf of Carpentaria, but dense mangroves prevented them from actually seeing the ocean. Burke and Wills did not survive the journey back to Melbourne.
Burke and wills decided to go on a moter cycle and got so scared wills pooped him self Burke couldn't stand the smell and he lost focus and it crashed and they both died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert O'Hara Burke, with William Wills appointed second-in-command, led the 1860-61 expedition to try to cross Australia from Melbourne in the south to the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north - and back again. Burke and Wills were sponsored by the Victorian government to be the first to make such a crossing. The party travelled via Menindee, where they established a depot and split the exploration party, and Cooper Creek where they established another base camp and again sit the party before pushing on to the Gulf.

Burke and Wills did not go on a voyage, which implies a ship's journey. They travelled inland through the Australian desert. Burke and Wills, like John McDouall Stuart in South Australia, were seeking a suitable route for the construction of a telegraph line from the southern regions of Australia to the north. A telegraph link to the rest of the world was available off Java, but it had to be linked to a centre in the north, then an overland telegraph line constructed to carry messages down to the main cities in the south. Both South Australia and Victoria were vying to be the first to make a successful crossing of the continent. The colonial governments in both Adelaide and Melbourne realised the importance of being the first city to receive communications via the telegraph, and so both states offered sizable rewards. Burke and Wills represented the Victorian bid to cross the continent.
