Holiday car journey across Australia by two Melbourne women
Miss J Robertson and Mrs Howell plan a Hayward style motor tour from Melbourne to Darwin and back via Western Queensland Brisbane and Sydney. They depart June 2 in a Lancia Lambda aiming for Adelaide Friday and Sunday depart first leg toward the Never-Never. They deny speed records, driven for pleasure and to showcase women’s driving progress. Robertson recently placed second in the Victorian reliability trial, and Shell supplies will cover the 6000 mile trek.
