History of Camden Motorcycle Club: pioneers of adventure, movement and modernism

The Camden Motorcycle Club, founded in 1919 and led by Dr. Francis W. West, played a pivotal role in local motorcycle culture in early 20th-century Australia. Members,. like Laurie Kelloway, engaged in adventurous overlanding, promoting camaraderie and the excitement of the open road. The club also provided community support, such as raising funds for disabled veterans like Private Cecil Wheeler.
