The race:

The Herald Sun Tour is a professional Stage race held in Melbourne and around the state of Victoria in southeast Australia.

It is currently held in early February and has four stages.

The first edition was held in 1952 was was a six-stage competition. It gets it name from the race's promoter The Herald Sun, a Melbourne newspaper.

The race has moved around the calender over the years, with the promoters and the UCI disagreeing over when it should be held. Currently it is conducted in February.

My apologies, but I do not have statistical information on early editions of the race.
