Classic Ferrari Dino hits the Australian auction market
Mark Eddy was thrilled when he won the 2011 Australian GT Championship in an Audi R8 LMS he brought specially from Europe.
It was the first time Audi had won a national championship anywhere in the world and the first time this particular model had been off the Continent.

Unique Australian colonial auction furniture from Red River Gum
Red River Gum has been used to make what could possibly be a unique example of Australian colonial furniture.
The timber has been used in the construction of an early 19th century breakfront bookcase in the English Regency Gothic style fashionable in the 1830s and 1840s.
Part of a domestic estate from the Adelaide coastal suburb of Semaphore, Glanville and handed down through three generations, the bookcase was probably made during the acrimonious governorships of Lt Colonel Sir George Gawler and Captain George Gray from 1838-1845.
