2004
marked the 20th anniversary of the Volkswagen Spectacular held
at Valla Park, approximately 612kms north of Sydney and a stones
throw from Nambucca Heads.
This is a full weekend event. The Club left Sydney on the Friday
at an ungodly hour at which time only truckies and all night
clubbers are usually seen loitering around McDonalds for breakfast.
We settled in at Valla Park on the Friday afternoon and kicked
back to ease into the weekend ahead.
On the Saturday a huge VW convoy heads from Valla Park to the
main street of Nambucca where all the VWs are parked for a couple
of hours viewing pleasure. On the Saturday night there is a
charity auction and fancy dress night (the Club opting for an
'80s look).
Sunday is Show 'N' Shine day with more visual candy for the
VW enthusiests and time to spend some hard earnt money at the
swap meets and trader stalls. It's all over too quickly with
Monday morning coming around before you know it and time to
cruise back to Sydney.
