You don’t have to be a car buff or a rev-head to enjoy a show and shine; it’s always a great day out. The 2023 Dalyston Show and Shine, hosted by The Bass Coast Historical Automobile Club, will be no exception. At this family-friendly show, you are likely to see custom cars, hot rods, motorbikes, off-road vehicles and a car boot sale. You never know who’s going to turn up and what wonderful vehicles they will bring to show us. Take your time to wander around; there will be food and drink available.


BE AMAZED AT THE VARIETY OF MAKES AND MODELS ON DISPLAY. Wander past modern cars and those of yesteryear. Marvel at the artistic designs owners used to adorn their pride and joy; dancing flames, coloured ribbons, interesting insignia and more. Look inside vintage cars and be surprised at their Spartan simplicity.

I’m no petrolhead, but I do appreciate the lines of a classy car and have a special liking for vintage and veteran automobiles. I like the clunky yet rounded lines of them, the heavily stylised grills and the hood ornaments crafted like mini statues. There is always plenty to see.

Walk along lines of motorbikes, set out like shiny well-trained sentinels. The hot rods are in a class all of their own. Some have a cartoon-like shape to them as though they might have emerged from the Disney movie, ‘Cars.’ Then there’s the competition cars, shined to such a glare as to occasion a need for sunglasses.

HOW TO GET TO DALYSTON, WHERE TO STAY, AND WHAT ELSE TO DO. Dalyston is around an hour and three quarters from the Melbourne CBD and about an hour from Cranbourne, along the South Gippsland and Bass Highways. It’s close enough for a comfortable day trip, but if you want a longer stay, Wonthaggi and Kilcunda are each just a few minutes away. Check out the Wonthaggi Motel or the MJ McMahon Motel in Wonthaggi or The Kilcunda Ocean View Motel in Kilcunda for accommodation. There are a variety of places to eat including the Wonthaggi Workmen’s Club. For more to do while you visit the area check out these 27 Things to do on a Phillip Island and Bass Coast Getaway.
