The Route
The 1979 event was once again based at Port Macquarie and followed the now familiar four day format with a ceremonial start at Sydney Square followed by a Special Stage at Amaroo Park and stages up the coast to the Port Macquarie base. Each afternoon included a number of daylight stages with the main competition at night. There was a daylight special stage near Port Macquarie on the final morning.
More detail on the individual stages can be found on the Southern Cross Rally website.
