In 1860, police officer Robert O'Hara Burke plans an expedition to&nbsp;map the mysterious blank in the centre of Australia. Joining him is scientist William Wills, and a ragtag team of hires. Burke falls out with virtually everyone around him, and demonstrates an uncanny ability to make terrible choices - from the equipment he brings to the route he takes.&nbsp;But even as the mission unravels, one final, simple decision could still save him.
