Julie and Andrew with their dogs and Julie's lovely Holden Torana Gpac and Andrew's Valiant Charger in the background. Julie loves Toranas.

Lilly stands proudly with her recently restored and fabulous looking Holden One-Tonner. These workhouses have become collectable performance machines, with attitude.

John and Mick with John's Brock Magnum, one of the very last of the pre-Commodore Holdens that was made.Both John and Mick love their Holdens, and between them 'have a few'.

Ken and Leonie with their Holden One-Tonner, adorned with lots of Australian memorabilia, "getting into the spirit". They look as they are off to the Deniliquin Ute Muster.

John and Julie with their beautifully presented Holden 48/215, with Bruce's older model in the background. These first Holdens are iconic Australian cars and a real credit to our engineers who conceived and built these cars in just 3 years after World War II.

Holdens were built tough. We see that Andrew and Julie have tied up their dogs to the exterior mirror of Julie's Holden Torana Gpac. That's how tough even the mirrors were made!

Mick and his Holden Maloo Ute. The world's first utes were built in Australia in the early 1930s. Mick's example is a great looking Australian-made vehicle.

John with his Holden HK Monaro. These cars were a 'breath of fresh air' when released in 1968, and they still 'turn heads' everywhere they go. Remember, a Holden Monaro GTS 327 won Bathurst in 1968 driven by Bruce McPhee.

Chris and Genine with their Holden HX 4-Door Monaro. The colour and paint quality is outstanding. Chris is always impressed with its performance as it leaves modern cars in its wake.

Sharon and David with their Holden utility. This has a worked 308 with a lovely note. It sounds just like our memories of the pits at Bathurst with those thumping Holden V8s from 1974 and thereafter.

Greg and Margaret with their very collectable VB Holden Commodore SLE. This car was top-of-the-line and the very first of the breed that was built in Australia for almost 40 years.

Ian takes all of the photos, so he had to rely on a 'selfie' when he got home on Australia Day. His 2006 Holden Adventra was the youngest car on display. The Adventra was built by Holden in small numbers and was notable for its all-wheel drive.

John and Bruce with their magnificent Holden display - Bruce's, first model (a Holden 48/215), and John's last pre-Commodore model (a Brock Magnum). The motoring history between these two models is a fabulous Australian story.

John and Craig with Craig's Holden utility. These cars where the mainstay of Australian farms and businesses for decades. Now these vehicles are incredibly popular with customisers. On the road they really make a statement.

With Alex absent talking cars, Tracy takes the opportunity to pose with their excellently-presented Holden HR Premier. These cars where the ultimate in Australian-made luxury in 1966. Holden developed a prototype OHC motor for the HR. If only.....!
