Southern Cross Reliability Trial
May 17th - May 18th 2025
Our inaugural event in September 2024 was a roaring success, covering areas that were new to many teams. After two long days filled with thrilling challenges, everyone crossed the finish line with smiles on their faces.
A massive thank you to all those who shared their experiences through emails, social media posts, photos, and write-ups in the Classic Rally Club magazine. Your enthusiasm and support mean the world to us!
New Dates:
The 2025 Southern Cross is moving to 17th & 18th May (Saturday & Sunday). This change allows us to also run our regular Sheep Station Trial in September. Both events will be timed according to our regulations with AASA. For 2025, we are introducing a championship format with a unique scoring system and trophies for each event as well as for the overall championship. Stay tuned for more information in the new year!
The Event:
Get ready for a big weekend exploring the stunning NSW Riverina and Southern Tablelands areas. Starting at Wagga Wagga NSW and finishing after two days of competition in Dalton NSW, the 2025 Southern Cross will cover over 860 kilometres of amazing driving roads and breathtaking Australian scenery. We'll be on the road early each day, with a Friday evening sign-on and a brief Saturday morning sign-on before the crew briefing.
Day 1: Wagga Wagga to Wagga Wagga – Covering approximately 500 kilometres throughout the NSW Riverina areas. Expect long open runs, but navigators, don't worry, there's plenty for you to do! Day 1 includes a morning crew reviver, lunch, and an afternoon crew reviver.
Social Dinner: Join us for a fun-filled evening in Wagga Wagga with giveaways and a guest speaker.
Day 2: Wagga Wagga to Dalton – Covering approximately 364 kilometres with more long open runs. Day 2 includes a morning crew reviver, lunch, and light food at the end of the event.

New for 2025:
We're excited to introduce new elements to our events in 2025, including the inclusion of Electric and Hybrid vehicles.
Also new is the use of GPS systems for all competitors. We've tested Waze, which has offline maps capability – a potential advantage in some areas.
