Melbourne - 1974

ASCC Federal Rally #7 Melbourne 1974

The 1974 Federal Rally was transferred from Shepparton to Melbourne because of an outbreak of encephalitis in northern Victoria. This year was the first occasion on which it rained at a Federal Rally. The rally can be best summed up in the following quote from Chas Stone; "Things I liked were Olinda, the steak, the motel (no diet), the dance, winning a cup, the gymkhana, the bell birds, the other birds and the Cameron familys' music." A new Hardluck tropy was introduced this year with the inaugural winner being Bill Lyford.
