Echuca Moama Truck Club president Rossco Talbot warmly invites enthusiasts of all vehicle types to join the event.
“Anything and everything will be on display at the Lockington Heritage Transport display,” he said.
“Any age group, anything around the transport division, cars, trucks, motorbikes.
“At the Echuca Truck Club, we like to stay local and support locals around the Campaspe area.
“We run 100km each side of the river, north and south of the river and 50-odd kilometres in each direction along the river.”
The event will run from 10am to 3pm, offering a fantastic opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their vehicles at no cost.

“There is no pre-registration; people can just turn up with their vehicles, it is a display only,” Rossco said.
The Heritage Complex, nestled at 2-10 Market St, Lockington, is a treasure trove of historical wonders, including what’s believed to be Australia’s first pop-top caravan from 1939, a beautifully restored tram, locally crafted tractors and a fascinating steam truck.
Rossco acknowledged last year’s contributors to the transport display.
“We would like to thank Rich River Truck Repairs,” he said.
“Nichol Trading put on an outstanding display last year with their road trains and everything on display, and hopefully, they will be there again this year.
“Our club goes along and supports the Lockington Heritage Centre, which is well worth supporting.”
Embracing the charm of traditional country gatherings, the weekend promises a delightful spread featuring a bustling coffee van, sizzling barbecue, fresh sandwiches, homemade cakes and cold drinks.
Other car and truck clubs are welcome to turn up to the Lockington Heritage Transport display and have a good time.
