Little Wheels – Hector MacQuarrie (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Across Australia in a Baby Austin

A racy account of a road trip from Sydney to Cape York and Thursday Island by the author and Mathews, his mechanic mate, in 1927, over”roads”that had never been motored before. In those days, all roads stopped at Cooktown, so the 960 k north to Cape York was a first by any motorist – encountering quicksand, turkey-brush, melon-holes, wide creeks, little water – lonely telegraphists, outpost traders, Aboriginals and life in remote wild places.
