The Australian Adventurer

Australia is a very big continent. It is about 4,000 kilometres from east to west. But, in 1912, one
man decided to travel across the continent... by bicycle! The man’s name was Francis Birtles.
When he was young, he bought a bicycle and started cycling. He rode round Australia twice and
became the first person to ride a bike across the continent from west to east.

Francis became very popular and a lot of newspapers wrote stories about him. As a result, in
1926, a car manufacturing company gave him a car and asked him to drive it across Australia.
He completed this amazing journey in eight days and 13 hours, and the car company sold a lot
of cars because of the publicity!
