NUMURKAH’S main street was roaring with engines and revving with life recently as the much anticipated ‘Show Us Ya Wheels’ event made its return, proving bigger and better than ever. A stunning array of custom and classic cars, trucks, and motorbikes lined Melville Street, transforming it into a motor enthusiast’s paradise.
Making its resounding debut in 2001, Show Us Ya Wheels has evolved into a cardinal gem on the Victorian car show circuit, attracting over 6,000 visitors annually. This year was no exception, bringing the nostalgic rumble of engines and the gleaming chrome closer to the hearts of Victorian residents.
Highlights included a spectacular grand showcase of the 1966 Batmobile, tractor displays, and blown engine start-ups, leaving crowds gaping in awe. Winner trophies glittered in the sun as over 30 categories were recognised, from pristine classics to mind-boggling modifieds.
The event was a whole-family affair, with remote boats on the creek for children, scores of delectable food options and bustling live music, assuring no visitor was left wanting. Plus, with quick access to local shops and pubs, refreshments and meals were in abundance.
Numurkah’s Show Us Ya Wheels was not just a car show — it was a vibrant celebration of admiration for all things vehicular, a place to build lasting memories and connections with fellow enthusiasts and a great way to support the local community.
