Description:
This book focuses on the last three months of Robert O’Hara Burke, William John Wills, and John King on Cooper’s Creek. The original expedition which set out in August 1860 was to explore the centre and northern reaches of the Australian continent. The expedition essentially concluded with the death of Burke and Wills on Coopers Creek from starvation and illness in late June and early July 1861.
The tragedy was a sliding doors moment in history. Burke, Wills, and King arrived back at the famous ‘Dig Tree’ camp site, the same day that this manned outpost decided to pack up and return south towards Menindie. They missed each other by a matter of hours.
Over the last few decades revisionist history has attempted to place Burke, Wills, and the sole survivor King, within the paradigm of ‘stupid, arrogant white fellas’ who ignored the wisdom and help of the Yandruwandha people who had successfully carved out a niche along and around Cooper’s Creek. The story as told by the participants through their diaries, letters, journals, and oral history from members of the Yandruwandha clan tells a completely different story. The three men appreciated that their very survival was dependent on the Yandruwandha and much time was spent trying to keep good relations with the local indigenous clan, with a few odd exceptions.
Overall, relations between the two groups were good, and it was for this reason that King survived with the help of the Yandruwandha people – without them he too would have died. This book places the death of Burke and Wills, and the generosity and good will of the Yandruwandha clan in its proper historical context.

Love them
Color: Sunrise
Love the color of these and they’re great quality. Got as a gift for my niece who had expressed interest in starting to play pickleball so really loved the design of this set. Thought they are very reasonably priced for the high build quality and she's commented on how lightweight the rackets are yet very strong. Think this is a great stater set and would recommend.

Good quality at a great price!
Color: Blue
The box included everything mentioned. The Paddle feel light, and has enough power to smash. The grip is very comfortable too. The included "outdoor balls" feel lighter than what I'm used to, but worked well on a windy day. Great for beginners. It would make an excellent gift for a novice or intermediate player.

Everything but the net
Color: Sunrise
This is a wonderful pickleball set for anyone from beginners to seasoned players. For those looking to start playing, it has everything but the net included. More seasoned players will appreciate the well designed paddles, with their light weight and comfortable grip. I bought a net in the fall for playing various sports and use that as well as some courts at a nearby park. The set is made to go anywhere with its sling-style carry bag that holds both the rackets and balls. I can even fit a snack, my phone and water bottle in there in addition to the tape. It’s a really affordable and accessible game to start playing. I highly recommend.

Thick indoor balls, of a darker pink color.
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Pink
Good indoor pickleballs. The description said they were outdoor (thin crisp plastic) but they are thicker. By the picture on my pc monitor, they looked brighter pink than they actually are. I was hoping to use these outdoors in the early morning rising sun, on a blue court with yellow green edging, but the color is too dark to be of use. So when we move indoors for winter, we will use these indoor balls there. They arrived quickly and were well packaged.
