It "The Birdsville Track" was on my bucket list from when i was a kid and first got to see the documentary "Back Of Beyond" that Shell made/sponsored in 1954, about the Birdsville Track and the Birdsville mail run, with Tom Kruse in the old Leyland Badger. There was also the Leland Brothers TV series about their outback travels that also inspired me, so as soon as obtained my car and motorcycle licence in 1974 it happened, first on an an XL350 Honda then the following year in a Series one 86" Landy.
The movie made in the early fifties later became a book "Mail For The Back Of Beyond"
Below is a link to clip from the movie.
