Ludwig Leichhardt disappeared sometime after he departed on his third expedition. His third and final expedition began in March 1848. The last sighting of Leichhardt, six other men, fifty bullocks, twenty mules and seven horses was made as they departed Roma, Queensland, on 4 April 1848. Somewhere in Australia's vast outback, the entire party 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. The strongest evidence, which has recently come to light and been thoroughly investigated, is that the party was killed by hostile natives one night as they slept around their campfire.
