Australia

[edit]

Esther also went to Australia (in 1932) to promote New Zealand products.Whilst there she walked from Melbourne to Brisbane (starting 19 November)in 84 days. Not only was she the first known woman to have completed this walk, but the first known person in the world to walk 1,000 miles in less than 100 days.122.57.152.168 (talk) 01:35, 2 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

According to DNZB, she reached Brisbane on 25 September 1933, which is 310 days later. Do you have a source for the claim she was first to walk 1000 miles in less than 100 days?-gadfium 23:21, 2 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

New Edit

[edit]

I have made some edits using Elizabeth Cox's Making Space (2022) [1]. Because of all the information in here about James's relevancy as an architectural students, I have more her career section around and added subheadings, plus added some additional information into personal life. All in all, this book reinforces the necessity for this article, especially James's involvement in architecture in NZ. CuriosityKat33 (talk) 01:05, 26 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
