“UP there with the best of them” is how an organiser of Allora’s Heritage Weekend described this year’s annual meet.
“It was touch and go on Friday”, Warwick Veteran and Vintage Vehicle Club president Graeme McMillan said.
“But the weather cleared up and the rain soaked into the ground.
“We knew we had to go ahead because we had gear from southern NSW coming up,” he said.
“On Saturday the gear kept rolling in and on Sunday spectator numbers were unreal.”
Mr McMillian estimated about two to three thousand people at least filed through the gates at Allora Showgrounds to attend the well-known swap meet, which features old machinery and has been going since 1995.
But there is little rest for the wicked, with Mr McMillian and his band of helpers set to start organising next year’s event in a few weeks.
