Bluebird on Lake Eyre
In July 1964 Leigh Creek residents had a unique opportunity to witness world history when Donald Campbell broke the land speed record at Lake Eyre.
These rare colour photographs, document the day trip taken by Peter & Pat Read and Hedley & Susan Atkinson to watch as Campbell drove back-to-back passes
on the salt near Muloorina Station, registering an average speed of 403.1mph (648.7km/h) in the famous “Bluebird”.
