Round Australia Trial 1954 , officiellt Redex Trial, var den andra körningen av Round Australia Trial . Rallyt ägde rum mellan 3 och 20 juli 1954 över 9 600 miles (15 400 km), och hade ett första pris på £2 000. Rutten var verkligen "rundan (fastlandet) Australien", med början i Sydney den 3 juli 1954, passerade genom Brisbane, Rockhampton , Mackay , Townsville , Mount Isa , Darwin , Broome , Meekatharra , Madura , Adelaide och Melbourne , och avslutade vid Moore Park den 20 juli.

246 bilar deltog och 127 kom i mål inom de tillåtna tiderna, även om många envist fullföljde kursen den följande veckan. En som tvingades hoppa av var den hyllade radiopersonligheten Jack Davey . Vinnaren var en Ford 1948 V8 , en ex-taxi kallad "Grey Ghost", körd av John Eric "Gelignite Jack" Murray (1907–1983) och navigerad av den orelaterade Bill Murray, utan att förlora några poäng på resan. Det var under denna rättegång som Murray fick sitt smeknamn, från hans enstaka celebrala detonation av sprängämnen, en sed som gladde vissa och gjorde andra upprörda. "Hemliga" mellankontroller var en innovation i år i ett försök att stävja fortkörning.
