Early Australian motor demonstration tests reliability on rough track
The 1920s motor trial in Australia tested automotive reliability over a long rough route between Sydney and Melbourne. Despite limited public roads and harsh terrain, entrants faced split classes under 1200cc and over, with total journey times and distances spanning hundreds of miles. The event drew 20,000 Melbourne spectators at finish and highlighted the potential of motor vehicles for the Australian bush.
