IMPORTANT UPDATE
Sadly the event will be postponed to the new year, now to be held on SUNDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2023 (HCVCA dinner on the 18th). This follows recent flooding in the area and another wet weekend ahead.
Thanks to HCVC (Historic Commercial Vehicle Club of AUST.) and Yarra Glen Racecourse for arranging another date for us.

Bus operators who regularly take part include Driver Bus Lines, Moonee Valley Coaches, Dysons, Ventura, Diamond Coaches, John Usher’s Invicta collection, among others.
There will be kids amusements, including face-painting and a jumping castle, and also a Touch A Truck section where kids are able to hop into trucks and have a squizz how they all work.
