- Le Rallye Croix du Sud (ou Southern Cross rally) était une compétition internationale australienne renommée, organisée durant 15 ans dans la région de Port Macquarie (Nouvelle-Galles du Sud). Elle attira de nombreuses marques automobiles planétaires, et quelques-uns des meilleurs pilotes de rallyes mondiaux, dont Björn Waldegård, Stig Blomqvist, Ari Vatanen (dernière édition de 1980, sur Ford Escort BDA), Hannu Mikkola, Timo Mäkinen, Shekhar Mehta, et Paddy Hopkirk. L'écossais Andrew Cowan (double vainqueur du Rallye-marathon Londres-Sydney) reste le recordman définitif de l'épreuve, avec six victoires (dont cinq consécutives). La course cessa en 1981, faute de moyens financiers suffisants. (fr)
- The Southern Cross Rally was a major international rally mainly held in the Port Macquarie region of New South Wales, Australia, between 1966 and 1980. The rally attracted many of the world's leading rally drivers and factory teams. The inaugural Southern Cross Rally was won by Harry Firth in a works Ford Cortina. Scotsman Andrew Cowan dominated the event in the 1970s winning the rally five years in a row for the Mitsubishi works team from 1972 to 1976. The last four wins were in a Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR and Cowan had also earlier won the 1969 'Cross in an Austin 1800 making a total of six victories. Some other notable Southern Cross winners were Colin Bond in a Holden Dealer Team Torana GTR XU-1 in 1971, the 'flying Finn' Rauno Aaltonen in a Datsun Violet 710 in 1977, Talmalmo farmer George Fury in 1978 and 1979 in the Datsun Stanza and Ross Dunkerton who won the 1980 rally driving a Stanza. There were many famous international rally drivers who contested the rally without winning it, including world champions Swedes Björn Waldegård and Stig Blomqvist, and Finns Ari Vatanen and Hannu Mikkola. Some other notable international rally drivers who competed include Edgar Herrmann, Timo Mäkinen, Shekhar Mehta and Paddy Hopkirk. The final Southern Cross Rally in 1980 was a hard-fought battle between the Datsun Stanzas of Dunkerton, Fury and Geoff Portman and the Ford Escort BDA's driven by Greg Carr and Ari Vatanen. Dunkerton held off the Escorts to win. A combination of lack of sponsorship money and 'burn-out' of the rally organisers led to the demise of what was still a very competitive event. (en)
