Default Heroic deeds in the family

Patrick Turner tells us:
"In 1927, when the road was mainly a dirt track, my father cycled from
Sydney to Cairns. He was much fitter than I was at the same age."

He must have been. it is 1700 miles on today's direct roads. It was
probably a long way over 2000 miles on the dirt tracks of the 1927.

What do you know about the bike he used, Patrick?
