Victorian rider Daniel Sanders has won Rounds 1 and 2 of the Australian Off-Road Championship raced at Kilkivan on the weekend.
The AORC is a national competition for enduro motorbikes and attracts the best off-road riders in Australia.
The Kilkivan rounds are the only ones that will be contested in Queensland this year and there was a record number of entrants.
The two days of competition were run as sprints, with competitors racing the clock over sandy and stony creeks, paddocks and undulating bushland.
Murgon rider Neil Collard, racing in the Champ E2 class, came in 13th position (Round 1) and 17th (Round 2).
