I got there late and missed a lot of the show. Great weather, Been too hot or raining in previous years.
The black and silver 58 was publicising our national convention at Easter.
Hoping for 300 Vettes at this one.

Hi Jimo,
It took me a while before I looked.... a great bunch of pictures and some cars that aren't like we see here very often.
Thanks very much. It was nice just to see the blue sky and nice green grass!

Alan
Is anyone still converting to right hand drive, or is that completely not required anymore?

Yep, there are some good old Australian muscle cars amongst the mix!!
some do still convert to R/H/D, the law in Victoria states that if a vehicle is over 30 years of age it can remain L/H/D, otherwise is has to be converted in order to get registered.

New cars have to be converted under a quite restrictive scheme (RAWS) Conversion an a C6 is around $50K, Ford GT40s (the new ones) are going for $500K on the road here. With import duties and taxes a new C6 can cost around $180K and the Aus $ has parity with the greenback.
