Grab your leather jackets, polish up the chrome, and fire up your pride and joy - the twin towns of Chiltern and Barnawartha are taking you Back to the 1950s!

On the weekend of September 5-6-7, our historic towns will come alive with rock 'n' roll, petticoats, pompadours, and petrol-powered nostalgia along Old Hwy 31 - the original Melbourne to Sydney route.

We’re revving things up with a Classic Motorcycle Show & Shine at Barnawartha Recreation Reserve on Saturday 6 Sept, 9am-1pm, and invite classic car owners and friends to line Conness Street in Chiltern and be a part of the 1950s fun on Old 31!
