The race had 17 starters. The race was held over 17 laps of the fourteen kilometre circuit, the largest ever used for the Grand Prix, and one of the fastest, for a race distance of 241 kilometres. It was the eleventh Australian Grand Prix and the second since the 1938 revival of the Grand Prix. The track utilised was three country roads which in a triangle formation took in the nearby village of Charleston. The advantage of using these country roads, for the first time the Grand Prix was held on a bitumen sealed surface instead of dirt roads. The race was won by relatively unknown Westeran Australian racer Allan Tomlinson in one of the best individual performances in Australian Grand Prix history, racing his supercharged MG T to victory. Bob Lea-Wright's Terraplane Special finished in second position ahead of Jack Phillips Ford Special. The fastest time over the race distance was recorded by Jack Saywell driving a Grand Prix Alfa Romeo.
