Quote from: hoejmark on 24 Sep 2024 at 11:17 Peter whitaker told me, that the first motorcyclist to visit all main capitals was Jeff Munro in 1929 (I belive) inclusive Port Darwin. Why did Grady and Jones not do so?
Could that be because of the railway. Not very long ago I followed on TV an australian railway enthusiast going from Port Darwin to Katherine by train, and on that occation it was told, that this line was opened in 1929. Could it be the reason why Munro did it, but not Grady or Jones?
