After so much uncertainty over the last couple of years, it’s encouraging to see that more truck shows are resurfacing from their Covid-enforced hiatus.
But please double-check the dates below with the event’s official site or Facebook page as they can often still change at short notice, as we have sadly seen in recent weeks.
If you have an event you’d like included in the next event calendar, please email all the details to editor@bigrigs.com.au.
We’d love to hear from you.
