Remarkable Australian Flight Veteran Returns with Rough Ride
Lieut. McIntosh, famed aviator who flew from England to Australia with Lieut. Parer, arrives in Kalgoorlie after a grueling overland trek. His 1917 Indian motorbike, battered by stumps and desert sands, survived 200 miles of sand hills and a broken side-car axle. He praises settlers and recounts near misses, hunger, and mozzie swarms along the trans Australian route.
