<<Caversham (good reds) - the area also gave its name to an Ozzie race
circuit of the 1950s/60s.
anything from the Goulburn valley - the area also contains  Wakefield Par=
k,
spiritual home of Oz historic racing.
Brooklands - another WA klabel with nothing to do with racing but the nam=
e
is rather evocative!

On the beer front:
Fosters sponsor ad. hoardings in F1 (irritiatingly short-sighted as I'd
rather see the money in racing);
Swan Lager used to sponsor Derek Bell in British F1 in a Penske PC3;
Matilda Bay was owned by mega-classic car collector and racer Peter
Briggs.>>

You can add:
* Tooheys Beer who sponsored Gibson.Skaife in V8 racing
* McGuigan's Wines who sponsored a FF - can't rememebr who though
* XXXX who sponsored a whole heap of things when Bondy owned them

However as an industry they have been fairly lacklustre ... in fact I can=

see little reason why they shouldn't do a whole lot better in the future!=
