Geelong Revival Motoring Festival
Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (10:03): On another matter, the Geelong region was buzzing on the weekend with major events. On the beautiful Geelong waterfront the Geelong car revival supported by the Allan government was an outstanding success, with timeless classics and modern marvels participating in the speed trials and on display. There were the pits and hundreds of classic cars and motorcycles to check out, the fashion parade with many people dressing up to show off the fashions from the 1920s to the 1960s and the Shannons motor show featuring classic cars. Accommodation was booked out and cafes and restaurants were full. Visitors from around Victoria and interstate, along with locals, enjoyed the two-day event. We have a lot more major events to look forward to over the summer months, including the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road cycling race and the Royal Geelong Yacht Club Festival of Sails.
