Description
Four cyclists set out on a race around Australia in 1896. Arthur Richardson was the first to complete this journey by bicycle, crossing the Nullarbor after 31 days. He later attempted to ride around the entire continent, facing numerous challenges along the way. Richardson's attempt was not alone - another group of cyclists, including brothers Frank and Alex White from New Zealand, and Donald Mackay from Australia, also aimed to circumcycle the continent in a counter-clockwise direction. This extraordinary true story is set against the backdrop of pre-Federation Australia's pastoralist empires. The result is Tour de Oz, an account of a remarkable race that tested the riders' courage, self-confidence, endurance, and resourcefulness.
