Henry Hampden Dutton (13 February 1879 – 15 June 1932), often referred to as Harry Dutton, was a South Australian pastoralist, remembered for in 1908 making the first automobile journey from Adelaide to Port Darwin. He was born in North Adelaide, the son of Henry Dutton (1844 – 26 August 1914) and studied at St. Peter's College, Lancing College, Essex, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he rowed against Cambridge and graduated MA. He inherited the pastoral property "Anlaby", near Kapunda in 1914 from his father. He was a keen motorist and in November 1907 attempted the trip to Darwin with noted cyclist-mechanic Murray Aunger (1878–1953) in a 20–24 h.p. Talbot, but was forced to abandon the car in Tennant Creek. Dutton, Aunger and a third member, Ernest Allchurch (c.1870–1932), left Adelaide on 30 June 1908 in a similar vehicle, and completed the journey on 20 August, having recovered the first Talbot on the way. The car and its steel-studded Michelin tyres were reported as having performed flawlessly. In 1921 he and his wife motored from Oodnadatta to Katherine; she was the first woman to make that trip.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dutton family papers )〕 ==Family== Henry Hampden Dutton married Emily Martin, daughter of James Martin MHA, MLC on 29 November 1905; their children were; *John Hansborough Dutton (23 August 1906 – ) *Richard Hampden Dutton (6 August 1909 – ) married Margaret Elizabeth Newland on 25 February 1933 *Bryony Helen Carola Dutton (22 October 1918 – 2005) was engaged to William Weatherly (Flying Officer with 459 Squadron and later awarded DFC) in 1940 but married American soldier William Robert Curkeet on 24 August 1942.
