The Rob Roy Hillclimb was established in 1937 at Christmas Hills, just 30 kilometres north-east from the centre of Melbourne. Cut out of the bush, the Rob Roy course included an uphill, half-mile, graded dirt road. The first meeting was run on 1st February 1937. In 1939, the track was sealed and became one of only three bitumen-surfaced purpose-built hillclimbs in the world, the other two being the Shelsley Walsh and Prescott courses in the UK.   All photos copyright - Martin Stubbs   © Martin Stubbs, Dacre Stubbs Collection

The Athey Austin 7 was built by Chris Athey in 1993. It was based on the back half of the body of a speedway car, and the components from a fibreglass bodied special, to resemble the Austin ‘Works’ racers of the thirties.  Chris did all the construction and the development work which has achieved a fairly competitive vehicle. The car was intended to be supercharged but this has not happened yet."
