In 1861 the Queensland Government sent him by sea to the site of Burketown, from where he was to head south searching for the overdue Burke and Wills.
Travelling on a more easterly route, he did not find the ill-fated explorers, but he did discover rich pastoral country including the Barkly Tableland. His account of this expedition was first published in Melbourne in 1862.
