Author will speak about Francis Birtles
The Gospel Garden Ministry in Umina will host an author event at 6:30pm on Tuesday, May 14, featuring Mr Warren Brown.
Mr Brown will talk about his book, Francis Birtles, which is a narrative account of the life and times of the Australian adventurer.
Frances Birtles crossed Australia more than 70 times in the early part of the 20th century by bicycle and car.
In 1927, he achieved the greatest motoring feat of that time and drove a car from London to Melbourne.
The story follows his exploits across Arab deserts, through Indian jungles and mountain snowstorms.
In between these journeys, he made a collection of documentaries and films of his encounters with the outback.
