1993 DUFF Race

1993 was a North America to Australia race in which Dick & Leah Smith beat Richard Brandt and Charlotte Proctor.

The Smiths attended Swancon 18, the 1993 Australian National Convention, in Perth, Western Australia, April 8–12, 1993, as well as visiting fans in New Zealand and across Australia. They came back from their DUFF trip as the North American agents of the Australia in 1999 Worldcon bid, spending the next three years throwing scores of bid parties where they discussed their trip and talked up Australian fandom, which greatly helped cause Aussiecon Three, meanwhile working to restore the funds lost through Roger Weddall’s death.
