“It was awesome, we had a ball and lots of great feedback and appreciation from the buoyant audience,” he said.

In the fancy dress competition, Graham and Jeanette turned heads in their matching pink retro outfits to take out first place.

They celebrated winning a luxury holiday in Coffs Harbour by feeding each other scones and cream to the backdrop of the ocean.

For Mack Gorrie from Woolgoolga, the motor show served a dual purpose of motorbikes and giving back to the community.

“I’ve just loved motorbikes my whole life, we are doing this to give back to charity, a great cause is Westpac Helicopters.

“Especially with everything going on at the moment in the Northern Rivers, it’s the perfect charity to give back to them and we thank our sponsors to help us get here.

“Westpac Helicopters helped me when I was six years old when I was a bit sick, so to give back to them is an honour,” said Gorrie.

After postponements from Covid and unprecedented rainfall, the crowd finally got to enjoy a big event at the Jetty Foreshores as they immersed themselves in a colourful journey through time at a spectacular location.
