Episode 2

Episode: Season 1 Episode 2 - Sports Car Rally
Year: 1967
Location: Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park
Description: Professional Rally drivers, Mr Morley and Jeff Andrews are planning a sports car rally, with the route passing straight through the middle of Waratah National Park much to the disapproval  of head ranger, Matt Hammond. They arrange to leave one of their Sports Cars at Ranger Headquarters, then head out to drive over the approved course. While out on the road driving dangerously fast, they narrowly miss a koala crossing the road, but fail to negotiate a fallen tree laying across Eastern Boundary Road. The car crashes over Currawong Bend, coming to rest upside down on the edge of the ravine. This looks like a job for the flight ranger, a grappling hook and the chopper. Below are a collection of photographs showing the cars racing through the Park, Sonny crossing the road, Matt Hammond extinguishing a camp fire and also the crash site.
