Various spectator view points are set out in these stages and a map is available giving directions.
The event is run by the Walkerville All Cars Club (a.k.a. Walky) which has been around for over 60 years. Members come from all walks of life and age groups. From junior members up, they all help to make Walky one of the premier rally clubs in South Australia.
