I don't think it has been mentioned but there is a book out on Gelignite Jack Murray by one of his sons. He won the 1954 Redex in a 1948 Ford, and generally led a pretty extraordinary life. Title is "Jack Murray - An Aussie Larrikin Legend"

Thread mining...
Have just finished reading "A Spanner in the Works", the extraordinary story of Alice Anderson and Australia's first all girl garage. (by Loretta Smith) As it suggests, a very informative piece of journalism re. not only about Alice but also how she and her family came to be in Oz, with some interesting connections to some well known names... |

Anyone read "A Spanner in the Works by John R. Siddons" ? Autobiography re the Siddons Family of Sidchrome and Ramset Australia Fame, I haven't and I am wondering if it's any good.

Hi Guy's
I read Allan Moffats book Climbing the Mountain which was really good book. I am now reading Neil Crompton's book " Best Seat in The House" and that's a ripper and well written. |

'A boot full of right arms' by Evan Green, on the Leyland P76 world rally cup car and the 74 london munich sahara rally. Amazing achievement by a very small aussie team, and the book is an excellent read.
