1965 - SHARON SMITH
Sharon Smith recalls: we did the trip in 1965 in a customline wagon, from Queensland to Western Australia. Just my mum, my older sister was seven, i was five, my younger sister was one.
I remember bathing under a water tower on the nullabor, no air con and lots of flies, The bravery of my mother to drive that far with three kids was phenomenal, what an adventure for us kids and hard work for mum, Dad joined us in Perth a while later.
