Saltbush Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 In Arnhem Land. I think that's a kangaroo wrapped up in leaves and hessian on the back. Car has different wheels front and back. I suspect it was taken by Francis Birtles on his Adelaide to Darwin record attempt. Birtles car was an 1923 or '24 Oldsmobile Model 30, but this is much more stripped down than his car. is the radiator enough to identify it?

Craig Gillingham Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Yes, that's Francis Birtles in his 14HP Bean. The car still exists in National Musuem, Canberra .
