The fourth annual invite-only Utez WB Run saw 156 models of the namesake car pull up to Perricoota Station in the morning.
About 400 drivers and passengers were part of the event, which began at the station and ended at The Timbercutter in Mathoura.
Event organiser Shaun Trotter said it was an impressive number considering the run is dedicated to one model of car.
Mr Trotter said the event had grown substantially from an initial fireside idea into a passionate community.
“For all of us, it’s about the calibre of people that attend even more than the ute,” he said.
“The ute is our common interest, and the stories we have about them from over the years of owning them.”

The Holden WB was made in Australia between 1980 and 1984, leaving a gap in the light commercial vehicle market after production stopped.
Owners from almost every state in Australia came to appreciate the unique vehicles and good company.

“The event only happens once a year, but we are really making it the event that gets all these people talking to each other all year around,” Mr Trotter said.
“The Utez WB Run is forming a little family, well now a big family, connecting so many people all together.”
Mr Trotter thanked all the owners for attending, event sponsors and those who provided accommodation.
Over 150 models were driven from across the country to the run.
