MEMBERS of the Veteran Car Club of Victoria came to Heathcote on Saturday to visit the historical society museum and gaol.<\/p>\n

Forty-five pre-1918 cars, motorbikes and fire engines lined Camp Street.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had small bus tours before but this is the biggest group we have had visiting the museum,” curator Elizabeth Murfitt said.<\/p>\n

“It is a great opportunity to showcase Heathcote’s wonderful history, including the gold and timber industries.”<\/p>\n

The vehicles were all made before the end of the First World War in 1918. Some were driven, others were on trailers.<\/p>\n

Members took turns in small groups to tour the museum and historical society office.<\/p>\n

“We have several rallies through the year,” Veteran Car Club member Liz Donald said.<\/p>\n

“We especially enjoy touring country areas and towns.<\/p>\n

“We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the museum and learning about Heathcote’s history.”<\/p>\n
