12th National Rally to Tawoomba

Top Of The Range

Tuesday 17th was another exciting day. Today I had the opportunity to ride in another 1934 Packard, this time it was a 7-seater, owned by Mr. J. Lucas. That morning we left the clubhouse and headed off on an hour drive to Pittsworth historic village where we all enjoyed our morning tea and had the opportunity to view historic relics located around the area. Lunch was the next stop on the agenda. After a 30-minute drive we arrived at the Adora Downs property. After lunch we had plans to visit a local confectionary company but it was unfortunately closed.

Wednesday 18th: Today was the day of the Concourse judging. At 9am we once again all left the clubhouse and headed to the Tafe college grounds to where the judging was to take place. The judging was conducted by a group of three lead by Peter Peters. During the judging we all had the opportunity to visit the Cobb & Co. museum located directly next to the grounds.  The museum provided us with both morning tea & a BBQ lunch. After lunch we retuned to the TAFE grounds to find an 1899 Winton parked amongst the Packards. We were all kindly offered rides upon the Winton. That afternoon, everyone had the opportunity to do what he or she wished, so many decided to take a scenic drive and explore Toowoomba.
