EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 10th September 1987, we witness a heartwarming moment as The Mayor of Middlesbrough, Councillor Malcolm Pritchard, bids farewell to a group of twelve adventurous Australians embarking on an extraordinary journey. These fearless individuals are about to embark on a grueling 12,000-mile bike ride back home to Sydney. Led by the indomitable Stanley Jackson, who at the age of 73 shows no signs of slowing down, their goal is to reach Sydney in time for the grand bi centennial celebration on January 26th. As they set off amidst cheers and applause from the local community, Stanley expresses his gratitude towards Middlesbrough: "We have been welcomed with open arms in countless cities across our journey so far. However, it is Middlesbrough that will forever hold a special place in our hearts". This sentiment speaks volumes about the warmth and hospitality extended by this vibrant town. This photograph captures not only an incredible feat of endurance but also showcases the power of unity and support within communities. It serves as a reminder that even though these cyclists may be strangers to Middlesbrough initially, their departure leaves behind lasting memories and friendships forged during their short stay. With its nostalgic charm and historical significance, this image encapsulates the spirit of charity fundraising events while highlighting both local politics and sporting achievements. It stands as a testament to human resilience and determination against all odds – an enduring symbol that reminds us anything is
