- Summary:
-
"The Dig Tree is the story of eighteen explorers - not one of them with an ounce of experience - who departed Melbourne's Royal Park on August 20, 1860, with a send-off by a crowd of ten thousand well-wishers, on a mission to chart the wild Australian frontier. Led by a mercurial police officer, an alcoholic camel handler, an American fortune hunter, and a German naturalist, this chaotic group would encounter hardships of a magnitude unheard of to that point and unmatched to this day. Only one would come back alive, bringing with him an unbelievable story of perseverance, idiocy, near-misses, courage, heroism, and utter insanity."--BOOK JACKET.
