Southern Cross Cannonball Classic - The Outback Run

Planning for the next Australian Cannonball Event in May 2025 from Darwin NT to Victor Harbor SA is tracking well with over 75 Entrants already entered with the Endurance motorcycle event likely to eclipse the 2022 Indian-Pacific Cannonball Classic in October 2022.

Once again there is a good number of early model Harley-Davidsons and Indians entered with the Event open to all motorcycle brands up to 1948. Other interesting motorcycles entered include a 1923 Invincible JAP, a 1938 BMW R66, a 1947 Scott Flying Squirrel along with a British contingent of early Triumphs and BSAs plus a 1938 Ariel.

The North-South route from Darwin NT to Victor Harbor SA will cover over 4,300 kms over 14 days including a rest day at Ayres Rock NT and interesting nightly stops including Daly Waters NT, Coober Pedy and Wilpena Pound in SA.

The 2022 Event raised over $160,000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and once again all funds raised by the Event will go to this worthy cause.

Organisers have scope for further entries so if you have a penchant for crossing Australia riding your Classic motorcycle, please contact them by email to [email protected] for an entry form and additional information.
