- Description: Sarah Maddock took up cycling in 1893, encouraged by her husband. During that period, she accompanied her husband on the Sydney-Bega route, a journey of 300 miles (483 km), averaging 60 miles (97 km) a day. The trip was recorded in the chronicles as the first route completed by a woman. The feat was eclipsed the following year thanks to the 574 miles (924 km) traveled between Sydney and Melbourne, completed in 9 days. In 1895, the couple undertook a 1'600 miles (2'575 km) journey from Sydney to Brisbane

- Description: Between 1926 and 1927 the two completed a 36,500 km (22,800 miles) circumnavigation of the world on two 1,000 cc OEC-Temple V-twin sidecar outfits powered by British Anzani Vulpine engines - nicknamed "Pip" and "Squeak" or "The Heavenly Twins". Their route followed largely British Empire territories: London, western Europe, Gibraltar, Malta, Palestine, Iraq, India, Burma, Singapore, Java, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, across the USA and back across the Atlantic to London. The Hughes sidecars were replaced in Melbourne after failing to withstand the road conditions. En route Malins gave evidence to the Royal Commission on the Moving Picture Industry in Australia and filmed extensive footage of the journey. He published an account of the trip in 1931 as Going Further. One of the OEC-Temple outfits is on display at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham
