Tea Gardens Hawks Nest SLSC volunteers helped crew the entry gates, while Rural Fire Service volunteer firefighters, many of whom had been fighting the Pindimar fires for days, fed visitors with their trademark BBQ. Mr Anderson noted that since the event, they had received quite a few very pleasing congratulatory messages from other Motor Clubs who attended. “Finally, our Club was once again honoured to have wonderful support from our State Member, Kate Washington, who attended to open our event and then took the time to walk through the display, talking along the way with many exhibitors and spectators.” At only its second year back from COVID, Motorfest’s engine is purring better than ever. By Thomas O’KEEFE State MP Kate Washington opened the show for the Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Motor Club. Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Motor Club President Ross Anderson, Vice President Ranald MacKay and committee members Mike Latty and Keith Pearce.

It was a beautiful day at Myall Park for Motorfest 2024.
