Back to the Bush - Sat 17th Oct Program
Not long now! The annual Back to Bush auto festival brought to you by Aircooled Assembly Inc is a few days away.
Be sure to check out the Muddy MAYhem display (this year only) – take a look up close at the cars, chat with their owners/creators and watch some awesome footage of a mudrun on the TV. There is a Muddy MAYhem colouring in for the kids to do at the display or take home with them as well as some cool give-aways, while they last!
The morning will consist of hundreds of cars and bikes in the show and shine. Thinking of bringing a car or bike? No need to pre- enter! There are marshals on the lane from Maude Street to guide you in to park and give you your entry number. Remember, all are welcome to vote for the car or bike you like the most for the “people’s choice” trophy.
There will be markets, free kids rides (different ones this year!) and face painting.
The Aircooled Assembly container/office (look out for the Back to the Bush marquee) is the location for: -

- Find mechanise - This year’s merchandise we have shirts, caps, coolers and our new item – patches! There will also be a limited merchandise at a discounted price from 2025.
