The Big Burke & Wills Trek is a 330km 11 day trekking challenge following in the faded footsteps of Burke and Wills through south western QLD and north eastern SA, from the Dig Tree (near Innamincka) to Birdsville crossing both the Strzelecki and Sturts Stony Deserts.
For those who may be short on time or not sure about covering the whole 330km on foot, the Trek is also offering two shorter options, including a 5 day 160km and 5 day 142km option.
A Historic Expedition, A Feat of Endurance, An Unforgettable Journey
For 11 days, trekkers will be encouraged to become absorbed in the wonder and mystery of the Outback, connect to another time and place, and be immersed in a personal challenge of stamina and mateship as they trek to their destination at the Burke & Wills Memorial in Birdsville.
Commencing at Dig Tree in Queensland on 16 August 2015, the Big Burke & Wills Trek marks the beginning of a new modern pioneering endeavour - replicating a portion of the original route, this time bound for success in terms of both personal accomplishment and fundraising efforts.
