Summary

J. N. Boberg of New South Wales arrived in Adelaide on 2 January 1923 having completed the first stage of a journey around Australia on a Dunlop tyred Indian Scout motorcycle. He had left Sydney on 9 December 1922 and was intending to ride to Perth via Port Augusta. The attempt came to an end in April 1923 when some distance beyond Onslow, Western Australia, Boberg ran into a telegraph pole. Advertisements on the sidecar include three for Goulding sidecars, Dunlop tyres, and Castrol oil.
