Reading 7 Read the text and circle T (true) or F (false). The Australian Adventurer Score Australia is an enormous continent. It is about 4,000 kilometres from east to west. But, in 1912, one man decided to travel across the continent... by bicycle! The man's name was Francis Birtles. He was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1881 and he always loved adventure. When he was a young man, he bought a bicycle and started cycling. He rode round Australia twice and became the first person to ride a bike across the continent from west to east. Francis became very popular and a lot of newspapers wrote stories about him. As a result, in 1926, a car manufacturing company gave him a car and asked him to drive it across Australia. He completed this amazing journey in eight days and 13 hours, and the car company sold a lot of cars because of the publicity! Later in his life, Francis continued to have adventures. He explored the north of Australia and discovered gold and he made two films about his adventures. When he died, in 1941, Francis Birtles was a very rich man. Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2016​
