In April I will journeying to one of the most desolate areas in Australia to do a feature on the 50th anniversary of the World Land Speed Record set by Donald Campbell in Bluebird in 1964. I will actually be staying at the same homestead, Muloorina that Campbell stayed in and journeying out into Lake Eyre to the spot where the record was set. This part of South Australia is very remote and the homestead is some 800 kms from Adelaide and an hour from the nearest town Marree. Then it is another 50kms from Muloorina to what is known as Campbell’s Point. It should make for a great feature especially as I also have ten previously unpublished photos of Bluebird on the lake (please note the image below is not one of them but is used merely for reference).
