LOOKING GOOD!
Things are coming together nicely for what is shaping up to be our biggest and best Australian National Show and Shine Euroa ever! The weather forecast at this stage is close to perfect for Sunday. Our Facebook and Web pages are becoming more and more popular as display vehicles and spectators alike are exploring our facilities and exhibits. It’s all about a family event as much as a motor show. If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to ask. There is a place for quest

EUROA’S MINI RAILWAY
One of the premium attractions for families who visit the Australian National Show and Shine Euroa will be free rides for the kids on the famous Euroa Mini Railway. An extension has recently added to the existing railway track and located on that extension is a new portable Railway Station called “TWOMEY’S BRIDGE”, which is located just over that bridge where it crosses Seven Creeks, giving easy access to people in the park. Young passengers can board the train at the Twomey’

WELL FOLKS, WE’RE NEARLY THERE!
Just one week to go until our great event – The Shannons Insurance Australian National Show and Shine Euroa. It’s time to review just a few of the major displays which we will have on show for you. But first, I would like to emphasise one very important fact. THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN A MOTOR SHOW! Located in the spectacular setting of the Seven Creeks Park and also in the streets of Euroa, we are extremely proud that our event has become one of the premium Show and Shine events

A COUPLE OF COOL CAMAROS
Best mates Glenn Godden and Clive Dixon are crazy about Chev Camaros and usually spend their Saturday afternoons at Clive’s Panel Works at Marungi near Shepparton, working on their respective pride and joys. This year they have their sights set firmly on some of the 70+ trophies that we have on offer for show cars. Glenn has displayed several of his cars at the Australian National Show and Shine Euroa before. Over recent years he has displayed two Camaros, one red 1969 auto w

12 CYLINDERS, 27 LITRES, 1,500HP AND A LOT OF NOISE!
That is one description of the Rolls Royce Merlin aircraft engine that will be on display at the Australian National Show and Shine Euroa courtesy of the Benalla Aviation Museum. This static engine display has been to our event before and never fails to attract a huge crowd, especially when it’s fired up. Amid a host of other engine noises which are common at our displays, the big Merlin simply dominates its environment. It is one of several around the world that has been pre

THE 1950 FORD PILOT – BRITAIN’S FAMILY CAR.
Euroa’s Geoff Bond will proudly present his green 1950 Ford Pilot Saloon at this year’s Australian National Show and Shine Euroa – a car that he has carefully cared for over the past 50 years. The Pilot was introduced in 1947, and Geoff’s ’50 model was one of the last of what was known as Ford’s mid – large family car before the launch of the Mk I Zephyr in 1951. Manufactured by Ford UK just outside of London, they were essentially the first post-war large car produced in Bri

YOU JUST CAN’T HAVE TOO MANY CORVETTES! (ESPECIALLY THIS ONE)
At last year’s Australian National Show and Shine Euroa, Bill Anderson was hopeful of presenting his 2012 Chev Corvette ZR1 to us. Unfortunately, despite a lead-up article which we published prior to the show, the car was delayed in delivery with the result that it failed to arrive in time for our show. That’s the bad news. The GOOD NEWS is that Bill will have this incredible car on show for us in 2017. Yes, I know that we’ve already done an article on Russell Pell’s 1990 ZR1

PLUGGED IN AND TURNED ON - TERRIFIC TESLA
OUR LATEST ADDITION FOR THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL SHOW AND SHINE EUROA. Introduced more than 100 years ago, electric cars are seeing a rise in popularity today for many of the same reasons they were first popular. Whether it’s a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or all-electric, the demand for electric drive vehicles will continue to climb as prices drop and consumers look for ways to save money at the pump. Currently more than 3 percent of new vehicle sales, electric vehicles sales could

TO EUROA – VIA FRASER ISLAND!
And via Narooma, Canberra, Toowoomba and some other far-away places. That’s the torturous trek undertaken by Johnno (John McCarroll) and his great looking 327ci (5.4 litre) Chevrolet Impala when they competed in the 2017 Variety Bash in August. The Variety Bash is all about raising money to help Kids in Need. The charity event is run by the charity, ensuring funds go where they are needed. “The Bash” is not a race, rally or speed trial. The single most significant rule of the
