OK.
What do you, like millions of Australians at the time and possibly still today, associate with November 1930?

Nothing immediately springs to mind
In what Australian state
Was it a disaster, political, medical or military

Related to sports/entertainment in the widest sense, although questionable as such, it had a positive effect, happened in Victoria, Melbourne.

An exhibition foot race, a swimming race, a horse race?
Questionable. Was it an aviation feat such as the first commercial flite by Charles Kingsford Smith's new airline.

Indirectly I suppose. More a sporting event. It was a race but not your every day one.

You mean the Redex Trial. No mate that was 20 yrs later. This race was far more expansive.

Ok, big it is.
Was it a boat race like Sydney to Hobart?
Did involve planes or hot air balloons? 🛩

I'm thinking it was one of those long historic early flights by Charles Kingsford Smith or Amy Johnson?
