Of those, the oldest was an impressive 1916 Triumph Model H, while a variety of other classic machines were also on display, with the bikes being separated into divisions based on their respective eras.
Saturday, March 2 marked the main day of the rally, with the entourage setting off from the Happy Hallidays Caravan Park at Black Head in the morning and making their first stop at Tuncurry's John Wright Park, where the public was given a chance to admire the beautiful machines.

"It's just a good get together," he said.
“Most of the clubs I know of in New South Wales have a get together for their riders. It’s a great opportunity to ride among riders of a like mind.”
