Franklin Round Australia Cannonball Run

The first attempt to Circumnavigate the Australian Continent in an air cooled 1927 Franklin car.

A small group of air cooled Franklin car enthusiasts will attempt an endurance trial that will entail driving a restored 1927 series 11B Franklin sedan around the periphery of the Australian mainland. The Owners of the car, David Rundle and Geoff Morris, will be raising money for CareFlight. The trek will also include the beautiful island state of Tasmania. So the trip, in the spirit of “EDWIN CANNONBALL BAKER” will be something that has never been done before.

 

After a break due to the wet season, the “Run” is under way again in WA. The Franklin has left Broome and is heading for Perth planning to arrive on May 4.
