Book Launch | A Judicious Use of the Wheel by Steven Farram

Discover the fascinating history of cycling in the Northern Territory, from the overlanders who cycled through the Territory in pursuit of fame as the first or fastest, to the clubs, businesses and communities that helped cycling flourish over the decades.

While several histories of cycling in Australia have been published, this book is the first to explore the story in such detail for a single jurisdiction.

Featuring more than 80 images, many published for the first time, A Judicious Use of the Wheel offers a richly illustrated glimpse into the Territory’s cycling past.

Excitingly, the publication of this book was made possible by Library & Archives NT’s Northern Territory History Grants program.

This is a free event however bookings are essential.

Date: Friday 11 September, 12.30 - 1.30pm

Location: Library & Archives NT, L2, Danala, 54 Cavanagh Street, Darwin City
