Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt, known as Ludwig Leichhardt, was a German explorer and naturalist, most famous for his exploration of northern and central Australia.
How did Ludwig Leichhardt die?
There is a maze of theories to explain Leichhardt's end: he and his party were murdered; there was a mutiny; he lived out his days with an Aboriginal tribe deep in the desert; they starved; they drowned – even that Leichhardt was eaten by a shark in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Has Ludwig Leichhardt been found?
In 2006 Australian historians and scientists authenticated a tiny brass plate (15 cm × 2 cm) marked "LUDWIG LEICHHARDT 1848", discovered around 1900 by an Aboriginal stockman near Sturt Creek, between the Tanami and Great Sandy deserts, just inside Western Australia from the border with the Northern Territory.
