Our popular and successful exhibition Nullarbor Crossings - A History of Challenge, originally slated to run at the Museum of Perth until the end of January 2024, will close on Wednesday, December the 13th.

We’ve been excited to be able to share with you the results of club members’ research efforts, which has turned up some remarkable new material.
Please join us on Saturday, December 9th at 11am for backstory floor talks by Frank West and Robert Frith.

• Frank will run you through the discovery and renovation of the Billy Read and Gordon Jones’ Aussie Tandem.

• Robert will take you on a tour through recently uncovered photos of Hubert Opperman’s 1937 crossing.
