That'd be two years ago, when the whole section by the creek was nothing but fast flowing water!

Yeah tell me about it. We were stuck in our estate as all roads out flooded. Our roof sprung a leak and i spent four hours bailing water out to stop the neighbors place flooding as all the rain water was running down into their driveway!

If you get there early enough you may get a spot inside, but there is minimal cars on display. Plenty of safe places to park there though around the venue. Never had an issue in all the time I've been going with any of my cars. Not really something the general public attend. Mostly just car people.

Good prices yes, sadly it's nothing like it was.... Way to much general shit/ brikabrak. Turning into a craft market.
Did find a 33-4 pedal assembly though. So it wasn't completely futile.

I haven't been before. Enjoyed it heaps.
Catching up with people, sharing stories with other car fans you've never met, checking out the cars on display. Some great cars I've not seen before.
A lot larger than I'd imagined - (as you guys said ) .. Plenty of cool garagalia for the man-cave.
Here's a couple of snapshop pics for our interstate mates
A nice metallic cherry red EK sedan seen in Dandenong after the event
A fully loaded EH taking a period caravan for an outing
A 1/2 restored A model pick-up was great. She started, ran, stopped. Lots of work to do still. Would be great to leave in a barn-fresh look. I like the airbag joke
