On Friday 20 September, Australian cartoonist Warren Brown and journalist Matthew Benns left London in a 1925 vintage car, aiming to drive to Melbourne by Christmas. 

They are re-enacting the 1927 journey of Australian adventurer Francis Birtles – the first person to drive from England to Australia.

So far, their travels have taken them to places including Austria, Albania, Greece, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and beyond!

Luke Grant catches up with Warren Brown, who’s home for a brief reprieve before the lads set off again, to find out what is in store for the next leg of their journey.
