Elphin Rodeo Delivers Record Social and Financial Success

The Elphin rodeo on April 24 and 26 drew riders from New Zealand and locals, with a strong social and financial outcome. Notable incidents included a near miss from an animal called AVOID and a large bullock breaking through stalls. Prizes were awarded across many events, and Ralph McLaughlin won the best all round cup at the Tivoli Hall ball.

Queensland success leads to tyre adoption nationwide

Queensland heat and road wear show tyres wear fastest, prompting Dunlop to design a tyre fit for Queensland. First produced over a year ago, it was tested there then used in the Redex Trial. Twenty of twenty seven prizes went to cars using the tyre, including the outright winner, as drivers praised its resilience after 6,500 miles of torture.

Dunlop redesigns tyres to boost mileage and heat control

New design principles focus on heat management with a heat resisting ply and flexible Extraflex compound to reduce wear and extend life. The innovations resist deterioration in Queensland heat, absorb shocks, and aim to outlast tread. Recapped tyres are mentioned as still viable with these advances.
