18th NATIONAL MOTORING HERITAGE DAY – Sunday 19th May 2024. A special discounted admission to the Museum on the day. Adult: $15 per adult & Children: FREE with a paying Adult. Proud to have been an approved destination for the National Motoring Heritage Day since 2008. A day celebrated annually on the 3rd Sunday of May is an initiative of the AUSTRALIAN HISTORIC MOTORING FEDERATION and is supported by heritage and historic motoring clubs throughout Australia. The day gives owners of all types of vintage, veteran and classic vehicles an opportunity to get out for a drive and meet other like-minded enthusiasts. Some go for long drives, some prefer a short local trip, some attend club gatherings in large numbers, others choose to go their own way. There are many suitable advertised destinations and this year the Australian Motorlife Museum at Stream Hill NSW welcomes drivers and riders of all types of historic vehicles to our wonderful facility. We will have ample parking for all in and around the park surrounding the Museum, a sausage sizzle and refreshments will be available to purchase as well. We advertising our museum as a great venue for car clubs looking for somewhere different to go and with enough advance publicity this year we hope to attract a bigger attendance than before.
