1977 - BUNBURY DAVENPORT CIRCUIT MAP
Murray Barnard recalls: The Bunbury Round the Houses motorcycle street races of 1977, held in Western Australia were held in this new industrial development just off the Outer Ring Road. The Racing proved somewhat dramatic at times. The new RG 500's proved pretty spectacular on such a circuit. H2 Kawasaki, Z1s, TZ's whatever.
