Many places. Robert O'Hara Burke was originally from Ireland, but when he came to Australia he initially lived in Hobart, Tasmania. Soon after this he moved to Melbourne as a member of the Victorian police force. At first he worked in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, but after being promoted to Inspector he was sent to Carlsruhe. His next posting was as Senior Inspector in Beechworth. He returned briefly to England, but was back in Victoria in 1856, whereupon he returned to Beechworth. In 1858 he was transferred to Castlemaine as Police Superintendent.

Robert O'Hara Burke and William Wills led the Australian expedition that was intended to bring fame and prestige to Victoria: being the first to cross Australia from south to north and back again. Burke's party left from Royal Park, Melbourne, in August 1860, and headed north-northwest to Menindee. Part of the group then pushed on to the Gulf of Carpentaria, with most remaining at Cooper Creek.
