This year’s Australia Day celebrations were made more memorable for Australia’s hot rodding community with the celebration of the Royal Exhibition Building’s longest running exhibit, the Victorian Hot Rod Associations’ hot rod show. This year marked the 50th anniversary of the Victorian Hot Rod show and was celebrated by many of Australia’s motoring enthusiasts by attending the four day event.
Once again the historic and picturesque Royal Exhibition Building located next to the leafy Carlton gardens played host to some of Australia’s top rods and rides displayed in all their glory, pristine and polished and surrounded by decorative displays and lighting.

Bringing culture to the cultured
St. Kilda in itself is a stand-alone tourist attraction. With its beautiful beach and stunning esplanade bringing together two major St. Kilda shopping strips of Fitzroy St and Acland St complimented by an array of bars and eateries drawing together the quirky and the eclectic mixed with Melbourne’s reknowned fashion and style. Most weekends, it’s the place to be! It’s alive, it’s the vibe, and the hum of the trams mixed with the thrills and shrills of Luna Park’s visitors riding the attractions.
Father’s Day this year brought a new thrill to St. Kilda by filling Acland St and surrounding lanes and car parks with the vibrant colours and shiny chrome of all things automotive! With the street blocked off to normal passenger motivation, Elvis and his team from ShowcarsMelbourne set about filling the street with some of Melbourne’s best custom rides accompanied by a cacophony of custom bikes, drag cars, cool classics through to your modified modern rides.

Well, not quite all but more on that later! Read More →
