In September 1928 Monson and E. A. Cooke set out to trek through Africa from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo. When Cooke withdrew, Monson was joined by another Australian, J. H. Wilson; they reached Cairo in December 1929. Monson’s reports were cabled to the West Australian. His account of physical endurance, British colonialism and an attempt to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro appeared as Across Africa on Foot (London, 1931).

And now for something different.
