2012 Maurice Brockwell Run, Perth

Sunday 11th November 2012 was the centenary Maurice Brockwell memorial run.  The run commenced with a display at South Beach, Fremantle from 9.30am to 10.30am, before setting out along the coast to the motor museum at Whiteman Park.  There was a fantastic turnout and a lot of public interest. 
It was a beautiful spring day in Perth which undoubtedly helped with the excellent turnout.
