World in Motion

I've pasted in some of my notes from the MOOC as part of week 3's class. The photo's from the Commons page, a bit of a sporting legend by all accounts, read on:

 

"Tom Morris, who will attempt to skip from Sydney to Brisbane, via the Pacific Highway, will set out from the General Post Office at noon to-day. He has already skipped from Melbourne to Adelaide and back (1000 miles) and from Melbourne to Sydney in 28 days." SMH 28/6/1937
