Sixty Years Ago...
"One of the most arduous and dangerous long-distance
rides in the history of motorcycling..."
For her annual holiday Miss Winifred Wells decided to motorcycle
from Perth, Western Australia, to Sydney and back on her privately
owned 350 Bullet.
She set out on Boxing Day, 1950, equipped with food and spare
clothing in two pannier bags, a suitcase strapped to her carrier and
a knapsack.
There was no need for waterproof clothing, as it was midsummer in
Australia, so her outer clothing consisted of riding boots,
breeches, sweater, leather jacket and an old tweed cap; the latter
to protect her from the scorching glare of the sun.
Miss Wells, 5ft 5in, 22 year-old daughter of a
furniture manufacturer in Shenton Park, Western Australia, achieved
what has been acclaimed as one of the most prodigious feats in
Australian motorcycling history.
In 21 days she accomplished her solo ride from
Perth to Sydney and back, a distance of 5,504 miles. Thus she
averaged 366 miles per day, alone, braving the barren, sandy,
waterless wastes of the Nullarbor Plains, a sparsely inhabited
desert more than 1,000 miles wide.
