Henry Hampden Dutton (13 February 1879 – 15 June 1932), often referred to as Harry Dutton, was a South Australian pastoralist, remembered for in 1908 making the first automobile journey from Adelaide to Port Darwin.
He was born in North Adelaide, the son of Henry Dutton, the "Squire of Anlaby" (1844 – 26 August 1914), and studied at St. Peter's College, Lancing College, Essex, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he rowed against Cambridge and graduated MA.
He inherited the pastoral property "Anlaby", near Kapunda in 1914 from his father. He was a keen motorist and in November 1907 attempted the trip to Darwin with noted cyclist-mechanic Murray Aunger (1878–1953) in a 20–24 h.p. Talbot,[1] but was forced to abandon the car in Tennant Creek.[2] Dutton, Aunger and a third member, Ernest Allchurch (c.1870–1932), left Adelaide on 30 June 1908 in a similar vehicle, and completed the journey on 20 August, having recovered the first Talbot on the way. The car and its steel-studded Michelin tyres were reported as having performed flawlessly.[3] In 1921 he and his wife motored from Oodnadatta to Katherine; she was the first woman to make that trip.[4]
He and T. L. Browne purchased Corona Station in 1910, and sold it to Sidney Kidman in 1917.
