This fascinating book provides insight into the use of the bicycle in Australia. From the 1890s, Australia was the long-distance cycling centre of the world. Explorers, gold miners, trail-blazers, preachers, sheep-shearers and early filmmakers covered amazing distances in the most challenging conditions, mounted on two wheels.
