Mikko Hirvonen
Finland's Mikko Hirvonen won the most recent Rally Australia in 2006

Australia will return to the World Rally Championship (WRC) calendar in 2009 with a race in New South Wales.

Australia last staged a round of the WRC in 2006 near the city of Perth in Western Australia.

The new event, to be held every second year alternating with the Rally New Zealand, will run from 3-6 September.

It will feature 16 stages in and around the coastal hinterland towns of Kyogle, Murwillumbah and Mullumbimby, just south of the Gold Coast.
