The recent Lancefield Truck Show drew a wide range of trucks of various ages and sizes.
Held over a full weekend, the show was a meeting point for truck enthusiasts across generations, and those being admitted free if they were aged under 16 encouraged family groups to attend.
There was live music, a Friday night barbecue for exhibitors, and a dinner on Saturday night. Don Turner drove from the Gold Coast in his 190 International, which he purchased from his father in 1983.
A tremendous workhorse, it has travelled more than 2.3 million miles since Don obtained it and applied sports paint.
He made good use of the trip to Lancefield, going to Romsey to collect a semi-trailer to restore.
Some trucks were driven to Lancefield for more than six hours from the east coast and Gippsland, and for nine hours from South Australia.
Lancefield’s long-time truck and machinery enthusiast, Robert Green, was a co-ordinator for the truck show.
He expressed thanks to all who had attended, and to those who worked behind the scenes to make the show a success.
Ideas for future shows in Lancefield Park will be welcomed.
