Inside the PNG Chiefs compound? Terrell would not last a minute.
61 Years ago, 2nd May 1965, we witnessed a champions final victory.
An improved track surface automatically resulted in better racing at this meeting, which was highlighted by Jeff Freeman's brilliant record- braking drive to take out the 15-lap speedcar Feature Race.
The field was away to a good start, with Laurie Seidl leading early from Don Hunt and Wal Brooker. Lew Marshall was quickly up to second spot but Freeman was mowing them down at a rapid rate and on lap 5 blasted around Marshall at the pits and under Seidl in the main straight to lead. Marshall moved to second and Len Brock to third when he moved under Brooker on lap 10.
The finish saw Freeman a 100 yards clear of Marshall with 80 to Brock, followed by Brooker, Middlemass, Park, Seidl, Staples Oram, Bowland. Jeff Freeman's time took 6.6 seconds of Peter Bowlands existing record.

By 1972, The Masters Apprentices had evolved into a powerful three-piece featuring Doug Ford, Colin Burgess and Denny Burgess, taking on London and chasing the next chapter of their sound.
This Go-Set article from January 29, 1972 captures the band in the thick of it, navigating the challenges of the English scene, experimenting with new sounds, and pushing forward with material from A Toast to Panama Red.
Meanwhile, back in Adelaide, former frontman Jim Keays had returned home, stepping into a new role as a journalist for Go-Set. In the column (left), he reflects on life as compere at the Largs Pier Hotel and gives a nod to one of Australia's biggest bands at the time, Fraternity.
