I read today the first vehicle to make the journey all the way to
the tip of
Cape York was a 1927 Austin 7.
That's all.

My Grandmother and Mother made it up to north of
Port Douglas ("until the road ran out") in the early-mid '40's in a "Baby" Austin 7, (not sure of the year of manufacture). Not bad for a mid thirties woman with a teenaged daughter in tow travelling alone.
My Grandmother was also one of about 3-4 women in
Melbourne that rode a motorbike around town in the mid-late 20's

She must have been gentry then as thats who road motorcycles in
Melbourne then, when Elizabeth St was in it's heyday and most popular for the upper class.
