To Take Part
In Mobilgas Marathon
DO you want to represent Aus tralia at next year’s Monte Carlo Rally? Or perhaps you would like a free holiday in New Zealand.
Or a £220 refrigerator from the Champion Spark Plug Co?
If none of these things interest you, then £6,283 might. This is what the outright winner of this year’s Mobilgas 19-days Round Australia Rally will get—and special efforts are being made to attract entrants from the Pacific islands adjacent to Australia.
The Rally starts from Melbourne on August 21, proceeds clock-wise fashion round Australia, finishes in Melbourne.
Entries open May 1; minimum age limit is 19, and conditions and entry forms are obtainable from: The Organiser, Mobilgas Rally, Vacuum Oil Co., 29 Market Street, Melbourne. Total value of prizes is already £14,500.
This 19-days marathon is dis tinctly not for cissies. But it shouldn’t be too difficult for people who make a practice of driving cars over virtually unroaded country— such as from Lae to the New Guinea Highlands.
