Every year, on the Valentine's Day weekend, the Macedon Ranges & District Motor Club hosts the 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' car show, here in rural Victoria, Australia. I posted some shots from last year here, and they were of interest, so here's a few more from this year. It's a great event with thousands of interesting cars in a unique venue and really is a giant picnic.

In summary it was a grand day out, and I'm sure everyone - whatever their preference in era and interest - had a great time!

Looks like it'd be a fun show to go to.

When I was in my teens a guy a few blocks away owned an MG Arnolt, I always liked the look of the car. That is a really nice looking 'Chummy' too, it's rare to see a UNIMOG anymore, there was a woman in the Seattle area several years ago who bought one only to have the federal car nazis sieze and crush it because it 'wasn't safe'.
Just like last years photos, very nice selection of rarely seen on this half of the globe vehicles and thanks for sharing them with us-
