Motoring

Celebrate the machines, people and stories that have shaped life on two wheels and four. Our Motoring collection brings together the worlds of motorcars and motorbikes, exploring their history, design and enduring appeal.

From the early days of motoring to classic cars, motorcycles and the excitement of motorsport, this collection is a place to explore engineering ingenuity, iconic marques and the personalities behind the wheel and handlebars. It also embraces the wider story of motoring: the freedom of the open road, changing tastes in vehicle design and the place of cars and bikes in Australian life.

Whether you are a motoring enthusiast, a collector researching a favourite make or model, or a reader drawn to journeys and mechanical history, browse books that offer a closer look at our fascination with the road.
