BECAUSE THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED . . .

Despite the cancellation of many events across the region due to rising fuel prices, increased living costs and other challenges, the Callide Dawson Machinery Preservation Club Inc. is proud to announce that this year’s Rally WILL be going ahead as planned.

This year marks our 30th Anniversary — a milestone that can only be celebrated once — and our club is determined to make it a memorable occasion for all involved. Nothing short of a major weather event will stop this year’s Rally from going ahead, and we are looking forward to welcoming exhibitors, supporters and the general public for what promises to be a very special event.

We sincerely thank our fellow machinery enthusiasts and supporters for standing by us over the years, and we hope we can count on your continued support to help make our 30th Anniversary Rally one to remember.

We can’t wait to see you there!
