Events in September 2026

On behalf of the members of the Longwarry & District Progress Association we would like to extend an invitation to yourself and the members of the Studebaker Car Club of Australia to attend our Australia Day Celebrations in Memorial Park, Bennett Street Longwarry on Sunday 26th January 2025.

Your participation with a car and engine display will enhance the opportunity for many residents to have an up close and personal look at the many vintage cars that we see travelling around Gippsland.

The day starts at 11am and finishes at 2pm. There is a free BBQ lunch, tea, coffee, competitions and much more. We do an official flag raising at 12 noon, and the Community Garden volunteers have plants to pot. Come along and enjoy a fun day.

We pride ourselves on making this a free family fun day and hope that your club family & friends will join us for the celebrations.

If you can bring a car or cars for a display, I ask that you arrive for set up around 10am.

Wayne Roots has volunteered to be one of the contacts if you have any further questions.
