There was an Interesting story in the Herald Sun today about a women (Ada Beal) who approached a cabbie (Charlie Heard) in
Geelong, and asked if he was Interested in a long cab fare.
To cut a long story short, they travelled 11,285Km from
Lorne in Victoria to
Darwin, Mt Isa, then across to the east coast and finally arrived back at their starting point three months later.
This was back in 1930 so you can Imagine the conditions. Charlie had no experience in the Outback.
Charlie's family is planning to replicate the journey in June 2008 using a 1929 Essex.
