Image description

It records the ceremonial departure from Melbourne in 1860 of what is known today as the Burke and Wills expedition, and was painted the same year. The leader, Robert O'Hara Burke, is shown in the centre, flanked by other members of his party. The Mayor of Melbourne and other dignitaries on the right wave farewell, while the large crowds of citizens, who had gathered at Melbourne's Royal Park to see the spectacle, seem more interested in the camels that had been imported from India to ensure the expedition's success.
