'Arguably Australia's most well-known exploration journey, that of Burke and Wills, is the subject of this attractive book in which Cathcart depicts William John Wills as the under-appreciated brains of the expedition. Based on Wills' diary, the book's eye-catching layout makes it a pleasure both to read and to hold. Over 130 colourful images, including 16 double-page spreads, complement Cathcart's insightful interpretation of Wills' pencilled and detailed notes.'  (Introduction)
