The Harrington Festival and Fireworks runs from Monday, 1st January 2024 to Sunday, 7th January 2024, with activities for all ages.
On Sunday, we had the classic car show and parade at the Shoreline Tavern, which included Taree Historic Motor Club, Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club, Taree Antique and Classic Car Club, Manning Valley Cruzers; and DONK (De Olde Nabiac Klub). There were also a few cars present from Port Macquarie. A total of approximately 100 cars attended.
The weather was sensational, mostly clear skies and non-stop sunshine – many appeared to be hunting out the shady areas or the air-conditioning of their cars, those that were modern enough! Afterwards, some members opted to have lunch at the Shoreline Tavern nearby, while others made other arrangements.
Many thanks to all those who attended, on behalf of the Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club, the management team would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year 2024.
Please note, there is no January meeting, so we’ll see you at the February meeting on Wednesday 7th February 2024. Due to the upcoming renovations at Tuncurry Beach Bowling Club, the meeting venue will be announced via email in due course.
Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club members are invited to attend a Club sponsored barbecue.
Members are asked to bring their own plates, cutlery and drinks.
Come and spend some time with your fellow Club members, share some stories and enjoy a snag or three!
When: From 5pm, Friday 24th November, 2023 Where: The Bullring, Main Beach, Forster.
THISWEEKEND: The Great Eastland Hub Rally 21-22 October 2023
It’s that time of year again! The Great Eastland Hub Rally is back, following it’s successful re-launch in 2022, after Covid.
The inaugural Hub Rally was created and hosted by Taree Historic Motor Club on the October long weekend in 1972.
Clubs attending were Taree, Tamworth & Coffs Harbour. The rally was at that stage a bi-annual event based in Taree up until 1978 when the Hub was formed.
The rally then became The Great Eastland Rally when it was hosted by Tamworth in 1980 and sponsored by Great Eastland Television which was based in Tamworth.
The Hub Rally hosting clubs include:
Taree Historic Motor Club Inc. (Taree)
Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club Inc. (Forster/Tuncurry)
Coffs Harbour Veteran & Vintage Car Club (Coffs Harbour)
Hastings Auto Restorers Society Inc. (Port Macquarie)
Tamworth & District Antique Motor Club (Tamworth)

…all of which host the rally on a rotation system each year.
