mm® km m ml IN A "WHIPPET" YOUNG COUPLE'S HONEYMOON TOUR 10,000 MILES OF TRAVEL Extract from the "Otago Daily Timet" Sydney Correspondent, March 18th, 1927. In this modern age diverse means are chosen by tip-to-date young couples to spend their honeymoons. But surely none was more novel than that of a young newly-wed couple of Brisbane, who chose a tour around Australia by motor-car as their mode. Not many people, even in the advanced stage of motoring to-day, •would care to undertake a tour like this, much of it through unsettled country, through sandy wastes and deep fords, but this bridal couple faced such a journey, and what is more, accomplished it in an "Overland-Whippet." They were Mr. and Mrs. J. Domey. After they left Brisbane they traversed the Northern Territory and the Kimberley district of Western Australia, and visited Perth, Coolgardie, Eucla, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. Their journey occupied over five months and was done in an "OVEELAND-WHIPPET" TOUEING CAB. Mr. and Mrs. Dorney had some strenuous experiences, especially in negotiating the Fitzroy and other rivers of the North, and' again in the sandy country in Western Australia. Where the car fordedthe Fitzroy—a large river—it was very sandy, with two stretches of water to negotiate. It was impossible to get through by engine power unaided, and a party of eight aborigines was picked up at the, nearest station and taken to the river where they assisted the engine by pushing the car until it was on the far side. Through another river ford being flooded, the Dorneys were forced to make a detour of 7f» miles ain™ „ * i. * . . a submerged stump and Mrs. Dorney was thrown through the windscreen and had her eye cut badly. Anxious to seek assistances his wife as soon as possible, Mr. Dorney had to work hardto get his car out of the stream before a possible flood. . ™ *^™wl-™" ° f WeSter ? A ™*»H» the Dorneys had some liaiymiiliMl^a^HagliigliiiL'MJg^T^Egiiigi; hours' labour the car progressed 75 yards. Por most of the 10,000 miles the load on the car was 17 cwt. Petrol consumption for the trip averaged 30 miles to the gallon. The same set of spark plugs fitted when the car left Brisbane was used to the end, and the cylinders were decarbonised and the valves ground in Perth.
