What a fantastic day. A group of more than 20 met up at the BP Caboolture (Northbound) truckstop and headed off to Maleny just after 9.30am.  It was a beautiful day for a drive to the Blackall Range.

All Holden Day, Cleveland

A perfect winter's day and a great display of Holdens.​
Sunday 22 June 2025
The June Jamboree today was a Goldilocks car show. Not too hot, not too wet, it was just right.
We assembled at a waterfront park at Victoria Point, having our own gazebo for shelter, a place to show the cars in the park and all the amenities.
Ten club cars showed up, ranging from the last number FJ still going, a panel van to a VL SL turbo, so alot of variety was on show. I even brought along my FJ Panel Wagon. Before all the cars got there, we could have been a HQ WB club.
Darren, the long jumping jeweller from Lavender Bay had wanted us to have a get together in the park so that club members could just have a chat about their car, look at other people’s cars or just enjoy an easy day, so that was the purpose of today.
Jamboree actually means a loud get together or celebration. The event was expertly catered by Lucy who once again put on a magnificent spread for members and we had great support from local Councillor Lance Hewlett who donated the club prize. Speaking of prizes, Lucy donated some Tupperware that went also with Cr Lance’s prize for a free raffle to the members. We also got tea and coffee, soft drink, cupcakes, slices, sausage sizzle and hot dogs. It was a great way to give back to members to benefit from being part of a club.
Although we did have space for more cars, I think those who came along had a good time.
All In all, thank you for coming to the June Jamboree. See you at our new meeting place.

We had a good run to Crows Nest Museum and Historical Village.
After meeting at the Northbound Bruce Highway BP, 7 cars took the D'aguilar Highway (Steve Collins managed to take the Bribie Island exit instead but caught up) and we stopped in Kilcoy for morning tea. Venturing on, we turned onto the Brisbane Valley Highway throught to Esk where we took the Road to Hampton and then onto Crows Nest arriving just after 11.30am. We were given a rundown on the village by Marie. Crows Nest is where the Ray White Real Estate business was founded in 1902 and several of the buildings have connection to that family.

Friday 21 March 2025
John Wesley Gardens
 Residential Aged Care Community
We had 5 club cars with 7 members attending.
The residents seemed to really enjoy seeing the cars and chatting to the owners.
​We were provided with tea, coffee, morning tea and cold drinks and mini dagwood dogs with hot chips and Ice cream sodas for lunch. 

Krystal Auriti, the Activities Officer, gave the following feedback.

On behalf of Wendy and I, and all the residents and staff here at John Wesley Gardens, our sincere thanks for helping us create such a wonderful, meaningful event for the residents.
We are always looking for ways to create an opportunity to help our residents reminisce in a fun and engaging way and you certainly helped us achieve that! 
We also gauge our events success on the feedback we receive from the residents, and they are still talking about the Car show Day and what a great day it was - which has been so nice to hear especially hearing this echoed by their loved ones who trust us with their care.
As many would know my parents Ennio and Maree have been in the Club for a very long time; my whole life in fact, and so growing up my brothers and I spent a good portion of our weekends on car club runs and at events, so to now be able to have a car club event at my work has been both nostalgic and very special to me and something I am so grateful for.
We hope you enjoy the photos!

Our Poker Run attracted 17 people and 10 cars, great to see, made the day a success.
We met at Buchanan Park Burpengary finishing in Woodford for lunch.  Information Sheets with directions were handed out together with a car names quiz. 
We had to scrap our route directions because of a major traffic jam on the M1. After a discussion at the morning tea break another route was decided on.
A driving skills test was conducted in the Burpengary High School car park. Several paper cups were flattened in the event, however 5 drivers managed to successfully negotiate the course without too much difficulty. Our ace driver Andrew Dunne in his red FJ was the first to successfully complete the course and after some consideration it was decided he won the prize.
There were 5 stops along the way where a card in a sealed envelope was handed out not to be opened till the final destination. Tim Leon won the prize for the best Poker Hand, 3 Queens and he also had 11 cars with birds in their names and won that prize as well, but being a kind hearted soul generously gave the prize to Steve Robertson who had 8 car names.
Overall a fun day.
