Comment

Crowds line the streets in Evandale in Tasmania's north for the National Penny Farthing Championships and watch as competitors race antique bikes around the town's main streets in a series of different events. Enthusiasts of the old fashioned bicycles came from across Australia, and from overseas including New Zealand for the annual event.
