In 1937, a 23 year old Catherine Gregson, her mum, and her mum’s friend Sybil became the first women to drive around Australia, navigating by compass and infamously stopping off in Darwin to go buffalo and crocodile hunting. Catherine Gregson and her mum were told explicitly that it was “too dangerous” for them to head out on a drive around Australia, but in a classic Aussie move, they said “bugger it” and did it anyway.
