Studebaker Reliability Run From Brisbane To Burke Town
The Special Six Studebaker left Brisbane Friday at 10 am and completed a rapid Brisbane to Chinchilla run, weather delaying briefly. From Longreach to Cloncurry the trip set a new record, shaving about 20 minutes off the prior best for 110 miles with 21 gates. The mileage to Cloncurry was 408 miles taking 12 hours 20 minutes, then on toward Burke Town with fresh drivers and renewed fuel and oil, amid rough terrain.
