In 1947, Major Ben Carlin, originally of Northam, Western Australia set out to travel around the world.
In an amphibious jeep.
He and his wife started in Montreal and took four years and several attempts to cross the Atlantic; after that, his wife called it quits, but he pressed on. Including several delays and side trips for fundraising tours, he finally finished the 40,000 mile journey in 1958.
