A racy account of a road trip from Sydney to Cape York and Thursday Island by the author and Mathews, his mechanic mate, in 1927, over "roads" that had never been motored before. In those days, all roads stopped at Cooktown, so the 960 k north to Cape York was a first by any motorist - encountering quicksand, turkey-brush, melon-holes, wide creeks, little water - lonely telegraphists, outpost traders, Aboriginals and life in remote wild places. By the author of Round the World in a Baby Austin (coming ETT Imprint mid 2025

Hector MacQuarrie was a Scottish soldier in WW1, who preference for remote places gave the world two early books of travel in a tiny Baby Austin - this one, and the bestseller Round the World in a Baby Austin (1933).
