The Clarendon Classic is on everyone's radar this weekend with a mass migration happening toward Hawkesbury.
High on our list is the Kingaroy annual Vintage Machinery Rally. There are always a few good trucks at this one and spread over 2 days it should be a great weekend.
Choice collection around Victoria as well and the Young Horsepower Show on too.
Wherever you see trucks this weekend, have a good one and if you're on the road, all respect to you.
Our photo this week was taken by Desert Dog at the NHMA national Rally and Steaming Under The Southern Cross 2025. A classic example of a truck that has well and truly paid it's way and is still pulling a few good miles. It's not all chrome, polish and glory - this is what it's about for us.
