Vroom Vroom, Beep Beep?Ollie and his mum pulled into their favourite antique store carpark. While mum shopped, Ollie studied the treasures lining the shelves of the rambling store. But up the back with the vintage toys Ollie finds a model Bubsie, a little red car with a big story. Mr Lan tells Ollie the story of missionary Nevill Westwood who drove the first car, a tiny second-hand Citroën CV he named Bubsie, right around Australia in 1925. Together, he and fellow missionary Greg Davis, left Perth to follow dusty cattle routes, forward rivers and cross sandy deserts to visit remote stations at a time when few roads existed. Many times, a bogged and broken down Bubsie had to be left alone while the missionaries walked long distances in search of parts for a little car never designed for travel in such hash conditions. The feat only completed thanks to Nevill's ingenuity, determination and faith in God. Nevill and Bubsie's adventure took them right round Australia. Where will God's adventure take you?Book six in the Angel Said Australia series, "Blazing the Trail" tells the story of travelling Seventh-day Adventist pastor and book-seller Nevill Westwood, who with his tiny 1923 Citroen 5-CV, became the first man to drive completely around Australia.… (more)
