Cars pack Goombungee Hall grounds for Show
Goombungee’s Car Show saw more than 100 vehicles pack the grounds of the Goombungee Hall on Sunday (January 19th).
Cars, trucks, bikes and hot rods attended the Cruise to Goombungee Car Show on Sunday spilling out onto the grassy road verge as the hall grounds overflowed.
Cars came from Brisbane, Dalby, Crows Nest, Kingsthorpe and Toowoomba.
It was a marked increase from the first event which saw just over 30 vehicles exhibit.
The event was attended by Pat Weir MP and Independent candidate for Groom Suzie Holt.
“Everyone did an awesome job. Very happy with our second Car show,” a spokesperson for the Goombungee Hall said.
“We’ve had very positive feedback from all cars that they would like to return for the next event.”
“Thank you to Barb Fowler for the live music and the ongoing support from Shannon Chip van.”

It’s hoped the success of this event will continue.
