MADNESS descended on Shepparton Motor Museum last week, with Mad Max stunt bike creator and actor Bertrand Cadart visiting Shepparton to film part of his documentary Beneath the Outback Sun.

Now 70 years old, Bertrand has for the past year been battling a terminal illness, but this hasn’t stopped him from touring the country to make the documentary on his life and the legacy of Mad Max and Australian car and bike culture.

Bertrand also left behind a something a little special, lending his Pontiac Trans Am Firebird GTA 1991 to the museum until his documentary’s release, which over the past month he has driven from Queensland to Clunes, Broken Hill and then Melbourne as part of the movie.
