Newly weds, Jack and Muriel Dorney buy a new 1926 Whippet and decide to travel north from Brisbane and go around Australia, on a honeymoon tour. Carrying guns in case of night marauders, this an early look at Queensland and the Territory suffering drought, and the difficulties of getting almost anything in inland Australia. Out of print for over 90 years.

Muriel Dorney was born in Rockhampton in 1897, and became a primary school teacher before her marriage to John Dorney in 1926. They embarked upon a honeymoon tour of Australia covering 6000 miles in the first ever Overland Whippet to arrive in Australia. In 1933 they opened their own garage, a Ford agency, in Chinchilla, which they operated for 27 years.
