A quieter weekend as we all recover from Clarendon and sift through the millions of photos from that one. We do have a couple of very nice rural truck shows on this weekend throughout the country, and anyone who knows Desert Dog knows that is where our heart is.
Also on is the Military Vehicle Show at Laidley and we are already seeing a few nice and unusual rigs rolling in there.
Once again, wherever you are seeing trucks, enjoy yourself. Take note of the weather warming up and don't forget to take a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. You have no idea how many hats we sell to people who forgot to bring one!
This week's cover photo was taken at Kingaroy Annual Vintage Machine Show last weekend.

There are forms for entry at the website below but I couldn't find the promised program or information for spectators on the day. I'd suggest if you check out the Facebook page and rock up there it may all be covered and a fun day out.
