More than 80 historic vehicles, all over 100 years old, will travel through the region as part of the 2026 National Veteran Vehicle Rally - Cowra, NSW, bringing a remarkable piece of motoring history to our local roads.

From a 1908 Cadillac to a 1918 Buick and 1918 Harley-Davidson, these beautifully preserved vehicles showcase the craftsmanship and innovation of motoring's earliest days. More than 185 rally participants, along with their families and friends, will spend the week exploring Cowra and surrounding towns, including visits to Carcoar, Grenfell, Canowindra, Gooloogong and Wyangala Dam.

📍Opportunities to see the vehicles include:
• 7 September: Woodstock and Carcoar
• 8 September: Greenthorpe and Grenfell
• 10 September: Gooloogong and Canowindra
• 11 September: Wyangala Dam

If you see the veteran vehicles on the road, please be patient and give them plenty of space. These vehicles typically travel between 30 and 70 km/h, require longer stopping distances, and some drivers may use traditional hand signals.

This is a rare opportunity to experience Australia's motoring heritage up close and meet the passionate owners who keep these incredible machines on the road. 🚘✨

It's nearly showtime in Cabonne!

The smell of spring is in the air, the temperatures are warming up, paddocks are turning golden and the bees are buzzing.

And let's be honest, there's nothing quite like the smell of hot chips, Dagwood dogs and freshly mown grass to kick the nostalgia into gear and remind us that show season has arrived.

Over the coming weeks, our local showgrounds will come alive with livestock competitions, horse events, pavilion displays, machinery, woodchopping, dog high jumping and yard dog trials, market stalls, live entertainment, yummy food and all the family favourites that make country shows such a beloved tradition.

📅 Show season is just around the corner:
🐴 Molong Show Society - Saturday, 5 September
🎡 The Cudal Show - Sunday, 13 September
🐑 Eugowra Show - Saturday, 19 September
🎠 Canowindra Show - Friday, 25 - Saturday, 26 September

Whether you're there for the woodchopping, dog high jumping, showbags, prize-winning produce, animal exhibits or simply a catch up with friends and neighbours, there's something special about a country show.

We'll see you at the showgrounds!
