SHOW & SHINE
The Macedon Ranges & District Motor Club presents the annual Picnic at Hanging Rock Classic Car Show. The largest car show in Victoria and perhaps Australia.
A one-day event.
The 37th event was held on February 11th, 2024, at the picturesque Hanging Rock Reserve.
Time 8 am to 3.30 pm.
Tickets $25 per motor car.
GETTING TO THE HANGING ROCK CAR SHOW
Hanging Rock is approximately eighty km from Melbourne CBD. On the outskirts of Woodend.
On the day, and four km from the Reserve, bumper to bumper traffic was encountered around 9 am. Traffic built up all the way into the reserve parking area. A time of sixty minutes to drive the remaining four km. Some arriving a little later took ninety minutes.
People were seated in their cars, waiting in a four-kilometre traffic line to access the Hanging Rock carpark. A man walked by, carrying a camera mounted on a steady cam, recording video. He mentioned that the footage was intended for YouTube.
At least one vehicle pulled out of the queue. Unable to cope with the vehicle's rising idling temperatures. A common problem of overheating in much older cars.
Reserve parking was on short, grassed paddock grounds. The elevated Hanging Rock is clearly visible from the parking area adjacent to the racecourse situated at the base of Hanging Rock. Numerous car show participants were within the track's inner fencing, moving past the Hanging Rock Café and extending much further down the reserve. Covering quite a large area. Thousands of cars on display.
