1938 Australian Track Cycling Championships
The 1938 Australian Track Cycling Championships were held in Melbourne from 15 to 20 December 1937. The decision to hold the 1938 championships in 1937 came as a surprise to many, including the Queensland Amateur Cyclists Union.[1] The Championships also doubled as the trials for the 1938 British Empire Games.[2]
