1970s Games

No idea about this one Hinesyr.

My wife is from NSW and I'm fron Victoria and neither of us have heard of it before.

Yeh - I was around in the same era & I don't remember it either.
I'm beginning to think he dreamt about this one.

maybe something here if you haven't seen the site
http://www.cyclingboardgames.net/cycloalphabetical.htm

i didn't see anything made in Australia at a quick glance, but lots of games from other countries made in the 70's

Already tried that site. Not there.
I tell you he is driving me balmy. He gets me to check every day.
Somebody - please help. Apparently it's not a board game.

Any possibility of it being similar to those old vibrating electrical games we had in that era? The ones I remember were football teams and the players were magnitized and moved around on a metalic board by the board being vibrated with a buzzer.

Found them! They're made by Tudor and they're actually from the '60's. There were football, hockey, and track versions of them.

Here are a few images I found by searching for Tudor electrified games:









I then did a search for electrified board games olympics cyclists and found this image:



Are we getting any closer?

Scalextic toys were very popular in the 70's in Australia. I thought just cars.
The pic bfly has shown is of modern cyclists.


OP may like to enquire here

Was this game styled around Austalian Olympic cyclists from the 1972 summer olympics? Did it have an Australian theme?

Silver medals 1972 olympics
# John Nicholson — Cycling, Men's 1.000m Sprint (Scratch)
# Danny Clark — Cycling, Men's 1.000m Time Trial
# Clyde Sefton — Cycling, Men's Individual Road Race

He thinks it is an Olympic theme. It had a yellow oval track. It was based on 4 olympic riders from 4 different countries. He knows 1 was Australian & one was Canadian. He thinks the other 2 were English & French.

WE FOUND IT!! It is called Whirly Wheelers & originated in the UK.

This one?

congratulations!
Drop round and we'll have a game and a beer or 3
