Australian Off Road Year by Bill Tuckey is the hardcover bible of 1980s Australian bush racing, capturing the dust, drama, and ingenuity of the country’s earliest off-road events. First published in 1984, this vintage volume delivers a year-by-year account of outback rallies, desert marathons, and the characters who built the sport from scratch.

Written in Tuckey’s trademark witty style, the book blends motorsport history with colourful biographies of drivers, navigators, and backyard engineers who tackled the unforgiving tracks. Packed with rare photographs and race statistics, it’s an essential reference for fans of Australian automotive history, rally culture, and true-life adventure stories.

This sturdy hardback still wears its original dust jacket, now showing gentle edge tears and shelf rubs that speak of decades spent on an enthusiast’s bookcase. Inside, the pages are crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound, free from smoke or musty odours—ready for the next reader to relive the roar of early off-road competition.
