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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It was organised jointly by the Wooroolin Lions Club and the Aces & Eights social motorcycle club.<\/p>\n

Vehicles on show ranged from classic muscle cars to hotrods and ratrods.<\/p>\n

There was also a strong showing of motorbikes, from veterans through to the latest Triumphs and Harley-Davidsons.<\/p>\n

As well, stalls lined the grounds selling motorbike and car-related tools, accessories and memorabilia.<\/p>\n
