Wheelbarrow world tour by Kennedy family in Horsham

An Australian South African family led by Mr and Mrs Frank Kennedy push a loaded wheelbarrow across Firebrace Street in Horsham during a 6000 mile world tour in two years. Their son Douglas, 17, handles travel bookings while younger Craige, born in Sydney, rests in the barrow. They plan via Melbourne and Adelaide to Tasmania and beyond, inspired by a prior South African explorer Le Roux who died en route. The story notes the family’s endurance and plans to cross seas, with Doug and Craige joining or continuing the journey as parents pursue the route.
