Cooper's Creek (book)

Cooper's Creek is a 1963 Australian non fiction book by Alan Moorehead about the Burke and Wills Expedition. It was one of Moorehead's best known books.

Film rights to the book were optioned. A film was not made but the book was adapted into a 1978 musical documentary for ABC radio called Endless Flight.

Reception

The New York Times called it a "superb book... although the setting was provincial, and indeed at times parochial, the story is seen in its universal significance."

The Age said the book "had been done well".
