Kyabram Mack Muster committee member Tim Dawes explains the event will feature Mack trucks spanning from the 1920s to present-day models.
“We are a group of like-minded people that have come together to run the event,” he said.
“We are all enthusiasts of the Mack brand.
“Mack is probably one of the world’s oldest continuous truck manufacturers.
“They started in 1900, so this year they are celebrating 125 years of continuous production.”
The show’s centrepiece will be Australia’s oldest surviving Mack truck, a 1923 model AC owned by David Dawes.
“It originally worked in Melbourne, delivering oil for a vacuum oil company back when it was brand new in the early ’20s,” Tim said.
“It drives at a blistering 12 miles, 19 kilometres, per hour, so watch out for slow-moving bugs.”
The celebration includes a special dinner at Parkland Golf Club, bringing together former Mack employees and muster participants.
Building on the success of the previous event, which drew 175 Mack trucks, organisers are aiming to attract more than 200 vehicles in 2026.
“It is not just Mack trucks at the muster, all other brands are welcome, too,” Tim said.
“We have a different section for all other makes and models, for anyone who is into old trucks, to bring along.”
The muster will be hosted at the Kyabram Showgrounds in Allan St, with cash-only entry available at the gates.
Exhibitors can participate without charge.
