(OK - an oldie but special)

The boy who rode 1,400km to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge

In 1932, nine-year-old Lennie Gwyther rode 1,400km from his home in Gippsland, Victoria to Sydney for the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Lennie had worked long and hard on his father’s potato farm after his father suffered a broken leg. When his father asked what reward he would like, he said he wanted to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Lennie’s solo journey took almost two months to complete and created quite a stir, with stories appearing in local papers about an amazing boy and his dream to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Upon his arrival at Martin Place, Lennie was met by thousands of cheering people and he was even invited to ride across the Bridge as part of the opening ceremony.
