Our April meeting will feature speaker David Tucker.

David will tell the amazing story of his great - great Uncle George Burston and friend Harry Stokes who rode 10,000 miles on their High Wheel (Penny Farthing) bicycles from Melbourne to London as part of a round world tour in 1888-1889. Burston and Stokes had been active members of the Melbourne Bicycle Club, and Burston become President of the Club from 1890 until 1900.

The pair faced all kinds of challenges and triumphs as they rode through SE Asia, across India, at stop-offs in Middle East, then through Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Netherlands before finally criss-crossing England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland to finish in London ten and a half months after leaving Melbourne. The story was recorded in a book published in 1890: Round About The World On Bicycles - The Pleasure Tour of, G W Burston and H R Stokes - Melbourne Bicycle Club, Australia

Display - Boorloo Bridge Opening

Join the WA Historical Cycle Club in celebrating the opening of Boorloo Bridge at a special twilight, free, family friendly event.

Check out our display in a marquee near the eastern end of the bridge, where it meets McCallum Park.

Boorloo Bridge will significantly improve connectivity, safety and amenity for thousands of people who walk, wheel or ride in and out of Perth city daily.

Two six-metre-wide cable-stayed bridges have been constructed over the Swan River, linking the Victoria Park foreshore to Perth via Heirisson Island.

This new, iconic Perth landmark is now known as Boorloo Bridge in recognition of the Whadjuk Noongar culture and history which has been embedded into the design. We recognise and acknowledge the valuable contribution over the last three years from the Matagarup Elders Group (MEG) who have been instrumental in ensuring accurate cultural narrative of the bridge to encourage awareness, understanding and appreciation of Noongar culture.

This will be the first opportunity to walk, wheel and ride across the bridge and pose for a selfie next to the boomerang and digging stick pylons! There are lots of new spaces to explore in McCallum Park, Heirisson Island and Point Fraser where you will discover murals, sculptures, wayfinding, and plenty of seating to rest, relax and recharge while enjoying the stunning views of the new bridge and the Swan River.

The evening wraps up with a firework display and the much anticipated switching on of the feature lighting on the bridge.
