    ROCK & RODZ ..Longford,Tasmania...smallish outdoor show (150 + rods-customs-streetmachines) 50's /60's theme , live rock-a-billy bands , tatt comp etc....SUNDAY 6th OCT . fly into Launceston and your welcome to tag along with me , i'll be taking my 39 and the 59 so you might even get the task of driving one to the show....maybe!
     
  4. If your,e in Adelaide on the 29th Sept., there's the Bay to Birdwood , "56-77 cars, trucks and motorsickles. Usually get a very big turnout, apparently the biggest get together in the Southern hemishphere.
    There's also a cruise about that time, (U.S and rods only), but havent got the details yet.

    the cruise is also a big event that ends up at the show....kill two birds with one stone.

    Might be cold south of the border, beautifully warm up Brissy way:):)
    If you like to see some of our great country, do CHOPPED first, drive up the coast and take in VALLA the following week.
    Cheers

    Last year was the first year of this show and the Sunday show and shine had over 500 cars. Nagambie is between Adelaide and Brisbane and quite close in time and distance to Newstead (Chopped).

    I was going to suggest the Eliminators show. Should be good.
    Not sure if I'll have my car there though.

    Is there anything going on around the Sunshine Coast on the 29th? I'll be in Mapleton that weekend. I'm at the mercy of my hosts as I'll be moving around with different hosts in different towns and cities - kinda like a homeless person... :D I'll even be in Adelaide but this will be on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Would be nice if there was something going on around Cleveland on Saturday, the 22nd of Sept. Vic

  22. If you are going up/down the Pacific Highway I am at Grafton, NSW, about 1/2way between Sydney & Brisbane........your more than welcome to call in...... www.scaleautomobilia.com.au..... regards, Andy Douglas
     
  23. Not much happening here on Tuesdays or wednesday cruise wise, but you could go to the Birdwood Mill- hundreds of cars and bikes, nice place up in the hills.
    There's a big Chevy museum in the Barrossa valley (Eric Parker collection).

    Thanks guys for your help and input. Seems like Beenleigh Showgrounds will be the most convenient for me. Looking forward to seeing some Aussie rides and hopefully run into some of you HAMBers.
