Rodders celebrate 50 years at the upcoming Goanna Run

 

The Desert City Rodders will celebrate their 50th Birthday at what will be the 37th running of the Goanna Run in October this year.

The Club was formed in 1974 by Hot Rod enthusiasts Ian Wallace, Jennifer Wallace, Gary Surman, Graham Blaby and Henry McClure.

Since that time, the club has been a feature at many of Sunraysia's local events with their members showcasing the unique cars, but the Goanna Run is one of their own (events).

Apart from the club drive days that show off the regions locations to visiting Hot Rodders, The "Run", has encapsulated what it means to live in Mildura. The region gravitates to their annual street party and display, as well as the "morning after" show and shine on River Front.

The street party closes the City Heart's Feast Street on Langtree to traffic to allow for the display of Hot Rod's and live entertainment.

Alfresco dining really brings the event alive in what is one of the best months to travel to Sunraysia. This years Street Party will be held on Saturday the 26th of October, (see video below of the 2023 event).

The Sunday "recovery" day on the banks of the Murray River also provides live entertainment, a massive "Show and Shine", and breakfast on the lawns with the magnificent Murray as a backdrop.

The Clubs web page has all the information you may need to make this a truly memorable experience.
