Jim Fitzpatrick is the author of some fantastic historical tomes about the story of cycling and bicycles in Australia.
"The Bicycle in the Bush", "The Bicycle in Wartime" and "Wheeling Matilda" are incredible documentations of the bicycle, and its place within society.
For many years, the bicycle was the primary mode of transport for the majority of people across our vast continent.
The bicycle has been used to deliver mail and news in the harsh Australian outback, in wartime, for exploration, miners, sheep shearers and daily rural life. Incredible overland distance records have been set in the most challenging of conditions.
The WA Historical Cycle Club invites you to join Jim Fitzpatrick from 7pm on 30 June, for an evening of knowledge and entertainment - be amazed by grainy, otherworldly photographs, and stories of hardship, determination and endurance.
