Billie Samuels - 1934 Melbourne to Sydney

Today we take a trip down Memory Lane to remember a 23 year old Melbourne waitress, Billie Samuels who in March 1934, planned to ride from Melbourne to Sydney in record time.

When you next head out for your next epic, and you think you’re doing it tough then remember this story of this 4”11 inch fighter.
