Join us in Orange NSW for the annual Gnoo Blas Classic! Celebrating everything on wheels, there will be a display and competition of classic cars, motorcycles, and trucks. Even boat and caravan owners are welcome to show their vehicles!

Enjoy the kids’ entertainment, check out the market stalls and food and drink vendors, and perhaps even take a helicopter ride! There is also a bus tour around the original iconic Gnoo Blas Race Track.

And meet Albert – the bus that traveled the world! In 1968, Andy Steward established a tour company running a double-decker luxury bus service on the longest bus route ever. The bus, affectionately called ‘Albert’, set out on its maiden journey in October 1968, from Martin Place in Sydney. Albert took his passengers on amazing journeys from Australia, through India, the Middle East, Europe, and London over the next decade.

There are over 40 trophies to be won for the vehicles on display, and visitors can enter the raffle to win a Bushmans tank worth over $5,000.

The weekend includes our popular social events, with dinner at Orange Ex-Services Club on Saturday night, and lunch at Waratahs Sports Club on Sunday. Book your tickets early to ensure you don’t miss out!
