The guide leaned forward and looked excitedly at Leichhardt. The campfire hissed behind him. “We have heard about Ludwig Leichhardt. A poor bushman, jealous of his companions and unprepared for his expedition into the Great Sandy Desert.”

The story of Ludwig Leichhardt is surrounded by mystery and intrigue and is one of the most interesting figures in Australia’s exploration and students love to learn about his expedition and disappearance.

After being enthralled by the story “A Campfire Encounter,” students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the story and create their own theories about Leichhardt’s disappearance.
