Arthur Charles Jeston Richardson

Arthur Charles Jeston Richardson (23 February 1872 – 3 April 1939), an Australian cyclist and mining engineer, became the first person to circumnavigate the continent of Australia on a bicycle.〔Fitzpatrick, Jim, ''Richardson, Arthur Charles Jeston (1872 - 1939)'', Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 11, Melbourne University Press (1988), p. 379〕
==Early life and career==
Richardson was born on 23 February 1872 at Pernambuco (Recife), Brazil, one of ten children. The family moved to Port Augusta, South Australia, while Arthur was very young. He attended Whinham College and Adelaide Collegiate School. After becoming a mining engineer, Richardson traveled the Australian gold fields looking for new strikes.〔
Richardson decided to become the first cyclist to cross the stiflingly hot Nullabor Plain. On 24 November 1896, Richardson left Coolgardie for Adelaide by bicycle. Carrying only a small kit and a water-bag, he followed the telegraph line, as he crossed the Nullabor. He later described the heat as "1,000 degrees in the shade". He successfully completed the journey, arriving in Adelaide thirty-one days later. As the first man to pedal the Nullabor, Richardson's ride was widely reported in Australian newspapers and periodicals of the day.
