The Swamp Show & Shine at Wooroolin looks set to become an annual event on the South Burnett’s motoring calendar after the huge success of the inaugural event at the weekend.
The car and bike show raised more than $3000 for the Endeavour Foundation as well as attracting a total of 79 cars and bikes to the Wooroolin overnight camping area.
It was organised jointly by the Wooroolin Lions Club and the Aces & Eights social motorcycle club.
Vehicles on show ranged from classic muscle cars to hotrods and ratrods.
There was also a strong showing of motorbikes, from veterans through to the latest Triumphs and Harley-Davidsons.
As well, stalls lined the grounds selling motorbike and car-related tools, accessories and memorabilia.
