Red Dust Revival 2025 to celebrate the glory days of outback racing

The Lake Perkolilli Red Dust Revival will return in 2025 from Monday, September 29, until Sunday, October 5.

The Lake Perkolilli Red Dust Revival celebrates the golden years of outback motor racing history between 1914 and 1939 with riders and drivers in old cars and bikes lovingly recreating the spirit of the past.

For more than 100 years, competitors and their friends have been camping at Lake Perkolilli, not just for the racing, but for the experience. Alongside the vintage speed demonstrations, highlights of the 2025 event include helicopter rides, food vans, a fully licenced bar, and a host of other attractions for motorsport fans and families alike.

Lake Perkolilli is a natural claypan about a 45-minute drive from Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The last part of the drive is on a dirt road and then becomes a bush track, but it is accessible for two-wheel-drive vehicles.

All proceeds from camping and spectator entry fees go to the children’s charity, Variety WA.

Red Dust Revival takes place at Lake Perkolilli from Monday, September 29, until Sunday, October 5, 2025. For more info and to buy tickets, head to eventbrite.com.au. For updates, follow the Red Dust Revival Facebook page.
