The Truck Show calendar is packed out going forward as the Southern states and New Zealand take advantage of the warmer weather and all get in before winter hits.
Australia Day also features a few street parades which often attract a few trucks so keep an eye out for those in your area.
Desert Dog is off to Allora for the annual Heritage Weekend there. We haven't been before but have heard so much about it and looking forward to the two day event.
This week our cover photo was taken by Desert Dog at Joe's Diner Truck Meet back in November 2025.
If you're at a truck show this weekend, don't forget the sunscreen and a hat, and drink plenty of water.
As always, brochures and more information below.
To all the truckies on the road, keep safe and thank you!
Before we get into it, there are a couple of cancellations this weekend that need a mention. The weather has been quite extreme with fires, floods and cyclones so that has possibly contributed to the cancellations. We'll put them at the top.
I believe this event has been rescheduled to the Easter Weekend.
