Add article description

Bilpa Morea is a claypan in Bedourie in the Shire of Diamantina in the extreme southwest of Queensland, Australia.[1] It has been investigated as a possible location for land speed record attempts due to its flat and hard surface.[2] An archaeological dig in 2009 recovered artefacts buried by explorers Burke and Wills under the clay during their ill-fated 1861 expedition.[3]
