New South Wales had a clouded rally situation, with CAMS representatives working in the background to find answers to Police requirements that permissions to use roads be obtained from each Shire Council along the route of every rally. This situation was brought about by complaints from country-dwellers about the speeds and so-called reckless driving of those involved in rallies and could lead to areas being banned to rallying. There was also talk about General Motors disbanding its highly successful rally team, and this ended up with the development of the very successful Holden Dealer Team under Harry Firth. But there was good news as regards the availability of new cars for rallying, including the Southern Cross Rally. Following the 1968 London to Sydney Marathon BMC had three slightly-used Austin 1800s completely equipped and ready for rallying, as well as a Cooper S or two; Ford had 1968 ARC winning Cortinas available, plus three as new Flacon GTs and General Motors had a few of its products in the hands of ‘private’ owners doing well in state events. 15 Volvo was out of luck in the Marathon with minor problems but still had event potential winning cars and the Japanese cars, through Mitsubishi and Daihatsu pushing for outright placings in state events, and the Southern Cross Rally. Renault was being recognised as having the fastest cars on the rally roads, particularly the 1255cc Gordini versions and Renault enthusiasts were looking to Renault Australia making a decision to seriously participate in Australian rallying. Enthusiasm was starting to build up for the 1970 Ampol Bi-centenary Round Australia Trial, with many state competitors seriously thinking of participating and starting to develop new cars. So, at the start of 1968 there was a more optimistic than pessimistic outlook to the coming year or so for rallying. Vehicle Eligibility Vehicle eligibility was based on CAMS Group C – Australian Touring Cars Championship Point-scoring 1st = 9, 2nd = 6, 3rd = 4, 4th = 3, 5th = 2, 6th = 1 ROUND ONE: CLASSIC RALLY – Victoria 1 Centred on the town of Noojee, the Classic Rally was run in three loops (divisions), and was again directed by Bob Watson and Jim McAuliffe, using the Blue, Pink and Yellow divisions in turn with the first car in every three going to a different loop. Instead of dusty conditions this year the event was over muddy and slippery roads. Run over almost 500 kilometres, the event attracted a field of 38 crews, of which only seven retired. It was won by Frank Kilfoyle/Doug Rutherford (Lotus Cortina), losing 35 minutes, to John Keran/Peter Meyer (Volvo 142S) on 46, after Keran lost more than 10 minutes getting out of a bog that Kilfoyle missed. Ford entered three Lotus Cortinas (Kilfoyle, Ian Vaughan/Bob Forsyth and Bob Holden/George Shepheard. Countering the strong Ford attack were the three Renault 16TS cars of Bob Watson/Jim McAuliffe, Mal McPherson/Robin Sharpley and Peter Janson/Neville Price. The small Mitsubishi Colt Fastbacks of Doug Stewart/Barry Field and Colin Bond/Brian Hope split the Cortinas and Renaults in the final ten placings. Only two stages of the event’s 18 were clean-sheeted by Kilfoyle and Keran and the competition experience of Watson/McAuliffe in setting stage times allowed showed as leading crews lost points in twos, threes and fours – ideal. The rally saw the Australian domestic rally debut, and almost destruction, of the London to Sydney Marathon Porsche crewed by Tony Roberts/Mike Osborne. Rounding a corner a McPherson strut gave way and the Porsche hit a tree, causing extensive damage with Mike Osborne slightly injured when a seat-belt anchorage pulled free. 1 Frank Kilfoyle Doug Rutherford Ford Cortina GT 35 pts 2 John Keran Peter Meyer Volvo 142S 46 3 Ian Vaughan Bob Forsyth Ford Cortina GT 56 =4 Doug Stewart Barry Field Mitsubishi Colt 73 =4 Bob Holden George Shepheard Ford Cortina GT 73 6 Colin Bond Brian Hope Mitsubishi Colt 78 7 Peter Janson Neville Price Renault 16TS 80 8 Richard Harris John Bryson Mazda 1200 93 9 Mal McPherson Robin Sharpley Renault 16TS 96 10 John Roxburgh Peter Haas Datsun 1600 100 ROUND TWO: SNOWY RALLY - New South Wales A splendid effort by Evan Green/Roy Denny in the ex-London to Sydney Marathon Austin 1800 resulted in victory at the end of the 1200 kilometre Snowy Rally, conducted over the June long weekend. The rally used forest roads between Batemans Bay and Eden, on the New South Wales south coast, and used Bega as the central location, staying here over the Sunday for the break between the two nights of rallying. The finish too was at Bega and would have been one of the more spirited finishes with crews questioning control locations, passage control siting, official times, gates not marked ‘Rally Entry’ and roads which did not go through. A change in concept from previous Snowy Rallies caused many navigators to wonder what struck them. Route charts were not a feature of the event this year, but eight digit grid references were – plus aligning two maps at once, and all the while the usual driver’s type of times allowed were there to be maintained – if possible! The navigation brought on a high degree of car sickness amongst many navigators, with both Doug Rutherford and Graham Hoinville amongst the sickest. 16 Evan Green/Roy Denny took off the Snowy Rally driving an Austin 1800 from the London to Sydney Marathon Opinion was that it would appear an event such as the Victorian Classic or Alpine Rally was the ideal test for a National Title event and, as the title is strongly by leading entries from most states, it was considered the way to go. The outcome of the event was wholly in the hands of the navigators after the first couple of stages. Due to protests at the end of the event the results were not finalised, hence no report on what happened during the competition is available. Ian Vaughan/Bob Forsyth finished fourth in their Ford Cortina GT 1 Evan Green Roy Denny Austin 1800 153 pts =2 John Keran Peter Meyer Volvo 142S 173 =2 Colin Bond Brian Hope Mitsubishi Colt 173 4 Ian Vaughan Bob Forsyth Ford Cortina GT 180 5 Bruce Collier Steve Halloran Renault Gordini 243 6 Richard Harris John Bryson Mazda 1200 285 7 Mal McPherson Robin Sharpley Renault 16TS 345 8 Peter Janson Neville Price Renault 16TS 356 9 Frank Kilfoyle Doug Rutherford Ford Cortina GT 1884 10 Bob Watson Jim McAuliffe Renault 16TS 2777 17 ROUND THREE: WINTER TRIAL – South Australia South Australia hosted the third round of the championship and, following on from the Snowy Trial, was a navigators’ nightmare, particularly to the 17 crews from the Eastern States. It was won by South Australians Adrian Callary/Garry Chapman (Renault 16TS) losing 49 points and the next two places also went to locals – Ron Waite/Peter McArthur (Toyota 1600) with 122 points lost and Col Jenkin/Adrian Mortimer (Datsun 1600) on 125. Fourth on 153 was Bob Watson/Jim McAuliffe (Renault 16TS, then John Keran/Peter Meyer (Volvo 144 S) 293, and Mal McPherson/Robin Sharpley (Renault 16TS) on 326. Local South Australians Adrian Callary and Garry Chapman took their Renault 16TS to a win Not only was the navigation using almost featureless maps difficult but the times allowed were such that indecision or a wrong turn forcing a retrace of the route taken, caused points losses. In the early stages the field coped well with the conditions and at the first division break Callary was leading with 3 points, Jenkins 5 and then Tony Roberts/Mike Osborne (Porsche 911 T) 8. Fourth was Garrie Bain/Adrian van Loon (Morris Cooper), fifth was Keran on 11. Watson was 14th and Peter Janson (Renault Gordini) withdrew with Halda drive problems. The next division, to Murray Bridge, saw Jenkins drop back with a missed route check whilst Bruce Hodgson/Graham Hoinville (Lotus Cortina), checking out the not apparent correct route also dropped the route check and lost a total of 32 points. Hodgson then caught his thumb in the steering wheel and Hoinville had to drive him to the Murray Bridge hospital. Fierce rain squalls swamped the country, causing one stage to be cancelled and turning others into boggy horrors for drivers. Although running well back in the field (37th) Callary escaped much of the soggier sections and finished the division adding another 12 points to his first division total, setting a large lead over Roberts (50), then Waite (54).

Competition came from some twenty crews in superb vehicles – and those crews had some outstanding events in which to compete under the auspices of CAMS. Firstly, there was the inaugural Australian Rally Championship (ARC); secondly the Southern Cross International Rally; thirdly, the London to Sydney Marathon, which clashed with the last round of the Championship. The ARC was a series of six rallies conducted in four states, of which the best five scores counted for the final pointscore. First placed gained 9 points with the following five places earning 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, as was the common scoring system in circuit racing.

  • Peter Carey: Venturing Into Territory He Had Long Steered Clear Of
    __________________________________________________________ Peter Carey: Venturing into territory he had long steered clear of Andrew Purcell 26 October 2017 When the time comes to write the story of Peter Carey's life (and someone else will have to volunteer, because he has no interest in doing it himself) the National Playwrights Conference in Canberra, in May 1984, will be recalled as the place he met his second wife, theatre director Alison Summers. He arrived a not-quite- married man, nine years into a relationship with painter Margot Hutcheson, and never returned home to Bellingen. Another important event occurred there, though, that is less well known: a conversation with Aboriginal activist Gary Foley that had a profound influence on Carey's writing. It would be a form of colonisation for white authors to inhabit the inner lives of Indigenous Australians, Foley told him. In short: "We don't want you guys writing about us." Australian author Peter Carey: "I don't think you'd want a writer who was writing puff pieces for their country." Photo: Steven Siewert So for decades, as he wove an epic tapestry of his homeland, a colony founded on stolen territory by convicts and their jailers, Carey omitted Aboriginal characters and stories. His great Australian novels Illywhacker, Oscar and Lucinda and True History of the Kelly Gang are animated by Scottish and Irish settlers, Chinese and Jewish 2 immigrants, Englishmen (real and imaginary) and their descendants. The continent's Indigenous peoples are present only in their absence. In Illywhacker, Australia itself is a story told by a liar, spelled out towards the end by fictional historian MV Anderson: "Our forefathers were all great liars.

  • Dirty Deeds on the Black Stump …
    Dirty Deeds on the Black Stump ….. no, you don’t need a modified rally car to join in the fun! Gerald Lee & Ian Reddoch Isn’t it ironic that most classic car events these days don’t have two of the most defining features of the classic rallies of the ‘60s and ‘70s …… Dirt and Darkness? Those of us old enough and lucky enough to have got our start in motorsport back then, can tell you that rallies (and Car Trials as they were more commonly called) were almost exclusively held from dusk to dawn on gravel roads and forestry tracks. And apart from a very few privileged stars in sponsored cars, you ‘run what you brung’, which you drove to and from the event and hoped that it would still be in a fit state to drive to work on Monday! Both of us welcome any opportunity to participate in events that provide to chance to relive real classic rallying. Such events are few and far between these days. While the ever-energetic members of the Historic Rally Association have kept the flame alive with a healthy calendar of dirt rallies in Victoria, such events were an extinct species in NSW until the irrepressible Dave Johnson and a small band of like-minded enthusiasts formed the Historic Rally Club of NSW & ACT a couple of years ago to rekindle interest in ‘real’ Classic Rallying North of the Murray. When the format for the 2019 Black Stump Tour of the Central West was announced we knew we had to be part of it this time.

  • Sydney – Port Macquarie - Sydney
    Barry Ferguson/Dave Johnson in the Holden Torana GTR – from the 1971 regulations booklet 1970 7 - 11 OCTOBER SYDNEY – PORT MACQUARIE - SYDNEY 62 PREAMBLE The New South Wales tourist resort town of Port Macquarie became the host town to the 1970 Southern Cross International Rally, again directed by Alan Lawson. In between starting and finishing in Sydney, the event spent three nights at Port Macquarie, with its thousands of square miles of adjacent forests, ideal for the way rallying was developing now that shire roads were not readily available. The new area allowed for an event in excess of 3000 kilometres and was considered to be able to provide competition at least half as tough again as previous events, although 1969 was not considered to be as tough as the first three years, when the event passed through the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. The Southern Cross International Rally was becoming a major undertaking, and one that brought rewards to entrants and competitors, and also to the commercial and tourist interests who supported it. With this kind of support, the event looked forward to be being Australia’s answer to some of the top overseas events. The starting order was by ballot within five categories, which unlike previous years, reflected the increasingly international status of the event. The first category was drivers who had placed up to 6th in an international rally. The second category was for drivers placed up to 12th in any international rally or up to 6th in a national championship rally. The third category was for drivers who had placed up to 3rd in class in an international rally or up to 12th in a national championship rally.

Two Redex trials followed, in 1954 and 1955, and each was longer and more demanding than the one before.

  • Global Media Journal - Australian Edition - 6:1 2012
    Global Media Journal - Australian Edition - 6:1 2012 "V8's 'til '98" The V8 engine, Australian nationalism and automobility Dr. Glen Fuller – University of Canberra Abstract The 1984 “V8’s ‘til ‘98” media-led consumer campaign to ‘save’ the locally-produced Holden V8 engine, was a direct result of the “economic rationalization” of the Australian automotive industry. The so-called Button Plan to overhaul the automotive industry by way of tariff reduction, forced automotive manufacturers to cull their model lines in order to prepare the Australian automotive industry to be competitive in global markets, and was one of the first policy-based waves of globalization in Australia. Due to cross-platform engine sharing arrangements and costs involved in environmental technology developments, one potential outcome of the market rationalisation could have been the absence of a locally produced vehicle with a V8 engine. For automotive enthusiasts, the V8 engine represented a monument of masculine and class-based automotive identity articulated through automotive performance. A market without a V8 was a dire set of circumstances for enthusiasts within modified-car culture. The “V8’s ‘til ‘98” campaign was led by Street Machine magazine and the tabloid Daily Telegraph newspaper and mobilized over 10,000 enthusiasts in a letter writing campaign to save the V8. During the campaign the V8 engine was articulated in familiar ways in terms of a class-based, masculine identity, but this time with a reactionary nationalist bent as the “Aussie V8”. In this article the “V8’s ‘til ‘98” event is critically analysed to explore the intersection of technology, identity and enthusiasm at the emergence of a globalised Australia.

  • BRIDGE MATTERS  Newsletter of the Caloundra, Coolum and Sunshine Coast Bridge Clubs September 2015
    BRIDGE MATTERS Newsletter of the Caloundra, Coolum and Sunshine Coast Bridge Clubs September 2015 AROUND THE CLUBS ♣♣♣ ♣♣♣ ♣♣♣ CALOUNDRA Members were up bright and early on Thursday 28th May for Caloundra Bridge Club’s annual Biggest Morning Tea. Three rounds of Bridge were played by 80 players before they en- joyed a great array of delicious cakes with their morning tea: these supplied courtesy of our great in-house bakers. Following the break, Jim Lee conducted an auction selling donated items from Club members. These included a lovely handmade table cloth with tatted borders given by Ruth MacKinlay and which had been made by her mother. Winners of our raffle prizes will enjoy meals at Alfies, Sunny’s, All’Antica, Blue Orchid, Bell Vista Tavern and Caloundra Bowls Club. Judy Hildebrand will use her voucher from Pelican Waters Golf Club to celebrate her birthday and Jack- ie Taylor is off to Hervey Bay for a 2 night stay in a two bedroom unit at Carlton Apartments. Geoff Gulley won the beautiful quilt made and donated by Judy Leathley. Due to the generosity of other sponsors who later came forward with prizes to support this very worthy cause, we were able to hold a second raffle where sixty tickets were sold to bridge players only. The main prize this time was a three night stay in a 4 star resort in Noosa and was won by Christine Hasted. Thanks to all those businesses which, despite tough times, provided some great prizes to the Club. The Committee too donated the day’s table fees and more thanks to cash donors and to all those who sold and purchased raffle tickets.
