Round Australia Trial Reunion
Mobil1, Redex Trial, Ampol Trial, Mobilgas, Repco … Calling all competitors and interested persons to attend the Round Australia Trial Reunion.
The programme for the day includes a vast display of memorabilia, photos and stories from the Round Australia Trials over the years. Famous as the event where “Gelignite” Jack Murray from Bondi began his antics of blowing up outback dunnies, its legendary stories leave a lingering nostalgia among buffs for motoring of a more primitive era.
Motoring writer and Round Australia competitor, Barry Lloyd will share some of his stories, talking on the day. An informal chat is also scheduled at the club on Saturday night at 5pm.
