Police closed the road between Cooyong St and Yass Road to facilitate Canberra’s first-ever legal motor trials event, on 16th August 1929, organised by the Royal Automobile Club. This from Ian Oliver’s well-researched presentation to CACMC at our June 2025 meeting. You can see the presentation material at this link.
CACMC members gathered at the summit of Red Hill, wearing our new club vehicle banners, ready for a parade past many of Canberra’s tourist hotspots on Sunday 18th May 2025.
