As always, the event, which is organised by Mid North Coast Machinery Restoration Club, will be held on the Fathers’ Day weekend, September 2 and 3, at the Macksville Showground.
The club always have a ‘Charity of Choice’ and this year’s one is the Make a Wish Foundation, which grants wishes and helps children dealing with serious and sometimes terminal illnesses.
Local volunteers and clubs are the engine that drives the rally and those organisations receive a contribution for their assistance.
The Rally has a huge following from vintage and classic machinery enthusiasts from all over Australia and this year will celebrate a century of Fordson tractors.
There will also be a big display of Caterpillar crawlers, as well as a ‘Best of British’ feature with trucks, cars and motorbikes.
We hope you enjoy these photos from rallies past ...
