Hardcover. good condition.
The Road to Canberra by Warren Denning is a witty and personal travel-memoir published in 1947, chronicling Denning’s 1944 bicycle journey from Sydney to Australia’s capital, Canberra. Rather than simply recording facts, Denning uses the trip as a vehicle to sketch vivid portraits of the people, buildings and landscapes he encounters, offering historical insights and humor as he puffs along “from the lowly elevation of a bicycle-seat.” (Australian Dictionary of Biography) Through his observations, heartbreaks and curiosities, he builds a warm, idiosyncratic portrait of Canberra in its formative years, capturing both its significance and its everyday charm.
