The Burke and Wills expedition is alleged to passed the townsite in 1860 while attempting to reach the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Hodgkinson left the expedition before it ended in disaster at Cooper Creek, and went on to join first Alfred William Howitt’s Victorian Relief Expedition, which aimed to establish the fate of the Burke and Wills expedition, and then in 1861 the John McKinlay relief party, on which he served as second-in-command.
