PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK CARS & CHARACTERS
SHOW & SHINE PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK
At the car show, the vast array of vehicles on display was truly impressive, with upwards of fifteen hundred cars spanning from vintage classics to the latest models. The inclusion of motorbikes added an extra dimension to the event, catering to a diverse audience of automotive enthusiasts.
Aside from the vehicles themselves, the show offered a variety of food stalls and merchandise vendors, creating a bustling marketplace atmosphere. The presence of the iconic Mr Whippy Icecream van added a nostalgic touch, delighting attendees of all ages.
For families, there was even a train available for kids' rides, although some found the enthusiastic train driver's frequent whistle-blowing a bit excessive. Tooting the very loud whistle. Nevertheless, it added to the overall charm of the event.
Many visitors came prepared, bringing their own chairs to relax and soak in the outdoor picnic ambiance. The setting, with cars parked under the shade of trees on a warm day exceeding thirty degrees, created a perfect backdrop for socializing and admiring the vehicles.
Engaging with the car owners provided fascinating insights into their passion and dedication. One proud owner sitting under shady trees shared the story of building his own oversized ute over a five-year period, showcasing a unique vehicle that stood out among the crowd. His parking strategy, limited to Bunning's carparks due to its size, highlighted the practical challenges of owning such a vehicle.
Conversations also revolved around cutting-edge technology, with one driver enthusiastically discussing the high-performance electric Tesla on display. The silent yet powerful nature of the vehicle impressed many, challenging traditional notions of driving experience and performance.
Despite differing preferences, all drivers at the show shared a common love for their cars, whether old or new, small or large. The camaraderie among enthusiasts was palpable, creating a sense of community and mutual appreciation for the diverse automotive landscape.
