A Talbot arrives in Darwin after being driven from Adelaide. The two drivers are both sons of Harry Dutton: J.H. Dutton (L) and G.P.H. Dutton (R). Jimmy Gosse is in the background (obscured). The Talbot first made the trip on 20 August 1908, when Harry Dutton and Murray Aunger drove to Darwin from Adelaide. They made history as the first people to drive across the Australian continent, leaving Adelaide 51 days earlier on the 30th June 1908. |
