(Fredrick) Sidney Cotton was sent to work at "Dalkeith" sheep station in New South Wales. However, in 1914, instead of working as a jackaroo, he built a cycle-car, the body was made the company Eagers in Brisbane, Queensland. [Sidney Cotton also developed the Sidcot flight-suit for aviators (1917) and pioneered in aerial and colour photography.]
Sidney Cotton's father, Alfred John Cotton, designed a car for Australian conditions in 1909, see Cotton post.
