Australia is losing motorsport venues at an alarming rate, so it is timely that Bill has researched and published what is probably the definitive work on venues; circuits, hill climbs, drag strips and speedways which have existed across the country and have now passed into history. 
This book has been researched, written, and provides the precise photographic location of 150 arenas throughout Australia. It is fascinating to read of these old locations. 
One location about which I was particularly interested to read and to see if it agreed with my personal research, was that of Berkshire Park in western Sydney near Windsor. Having visited there many times during the years, I knew of its exact location on Richmond Road. There have been, over the years, references to and, indeed, some confusion between the identity of Berkshire Park Airstrip and Marsden Park. Initially, I thought there might have been two, separate, strips which, post war, were used for some car racing events. But it turns out they are one and the same former RAAF emergency airstrip. Budding racing car builder and driver, Ron Tauranac, had his interest piqued when he visited in his Austin 7. 
This is as much a reference book as a research essay. As such, it provides an excellent tool for those who desire to verify and locate old motor sport locations. A nice investment for an enthusiast’s library. 9/10 for the detail alone. 
I found it a most interesting read and will happily place it in my reference library.
