Warnings and disclaimer
Title devised by cataloguer. In 1936 a survey party was sent out to assess a possible route round Australia for a car rally to celebrate Australia's 150th anniversary of white settlement. C. Price Conigrave recorded the trip in 'Around Australia in a Pontiac' (1936). Two standard 1936 Pontiac coupes, with an additional 60 gallon petrol tank fitted to give them a range of 1000 miles, were sponsored by the National Roads and Motorists Association of NSW. Conigrave was the writer and photographer for a group of Australian newspapers. He also describes this journey in his book 'Walk-About' (1938), p.164+ . He describes visiting New Norcia p.182.
