Saturday morning was fine and sunny... a perfect day for the "Clarendon Classic".  Once through the gates there was an awesome display of trucks, tractors, steam traction engines and a handful of cars... vintage and hotrod... plus various types of stalls. 

Of particular note was the line-up of Kenworth trucks celebrating 50 years of Kenworth in Australia.  There were various models on show from the early days to current.  Probably the oldest there was Ron Kirk's 1951 prime mover.  There were to be at least one of each model made exhibited on the day.
Several of our WSHTC members took their trucks along, some with more than just one truck on display.  One surprise was the news that Carl Thomson is hanging up his keys... hw had a 'For Sale' on his International R190.
The type and variety of the exhibits on show was more diverse than previous years and obviously had a very big input to the success of the weekend.
