Explorer of Australia Robert O'Hara Burke was not married. There are suggestions that he volunteered to lead the expedition to the north because he had proposed to a young acress named Julia Matthews. She responded that she would consider marriage if Burke was the triumphant winner of the race to the north and back.

No. There is evidence to suggest that Australian explorer Robert O'Hara Burke offered to lead the expedition to the north because he had proposed to a young acress named Julia Matthews.
