Here's another item that has relevance to this

This issue also covers the Lakeside and Sandown Internationals, not that Stirling was at the Queensland event and his Sandown efforts concentrated on the Lotus. Being a kiwi based forum it's also worth noting how Bruce McLaren set the first Sandown lap record 1m 08.7 secs.

I also see in the 4/62 The Motorman that Donn Anderson mentions some of the antics the likes of Moss, Brabham & McLaren were doing "off duty" with water skiing, newspaper and TV interviews. Somewhere in a NZ archive these might be lurking. I dare say an earlier issue runs the reports for the NZ Internationals, but the April issue is the earliest I have. Hopefully there's someone else here with access to them.
