DescriptionBirtles and Stollery posing with the 'Sundowner' upon arrival at Sydney, 16 July 1928 (7820705882).jpg |
English: On 16 July 1928, Francis Birtles drove his 14 HP Bean racing car (the 'Sundowner') into the city of Sydney, with his travelling companion P E Stollery. Arriving to crowds, journalists and photographers outside the Dunlop Rubber Co headquarters in Wentworth Avenue, they had reached the final leg of their driving voyage, which began for Birtles in London almost nine months earlier. This image, taken by photojournalist Samuel Hood, captures the significant event. The Dunlop Rubber Company, who part sponsored the voyage with Shell Oil, arranged the promotional welcome. After a week in Sydney, the pair drove south to Melbourne, where the 26,000 km voyage came to an end. |
