Held in mid-October at the picturesque Peter Jackson Oval, the show and shine brought together car enthusiasts, families and visitors for a day filled with excitement, entertainment and community spirit.
With 100 proud owners showcasing a dazzling array of unique vehicles — including classic cars, tractors, motorcycles and even a boat — the event was a feast for the eyes and a celebration of automotive history.
The vehicles, polished to perfection, were proudly displayed for the 460 visitors in attendance, who had the opportunity to chat with the owners and share in their passion.
“What made this event truly special was its inclusive and family-friendly atmosphere,” the club’s citation reads.
“With no entry fees, the day featured attractions for all ages, including a jumping castle and the thrilling race car simulator.
“Delicious catering options ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy.”
Nominators said the Moulamein Automotive Club was much more than a passionate group of volunteers with more than 50 registered historic and vintage vehicles.
They described it as a “community”.
“The club’s dedication to preserving the history of vehicles and fostering mateship shines through in everything they do,” the citation read.
“The show and shine was a testament to their commitment, showcasing not only their love for automotive heritage but also the best of Moulamein to visitors from across Victoria and NSW.
“This event was a massive success, bringing people together and highlighting the charm and vibrancy of Moulamein.”
