Mr. William Virgin, the cyclist who rode into Melbourne from Perth on Saturday, is a fitting successor on the journey to Mr. William Snell, holder of the Coolgardie to Melbourne record.

Blenk era silenziosa. Non so a cosa stesse pensando. Probabilmente a ciò a cui pensavo io: all’affidabilità della moto, alle difficoltà del clima, al nostro stato di salute, alle malattie e a tutte le raccomandazioni che ci avevano fatto, o a tutti quei misteriosi beduini dagli occhi neri, che ci fissavano, e ci fissavano. E ci fissavano. Ora che eravamo sole sarebbero stati ospitali? Scivolammo via, puntando dritte verso l’ignoto.
