The central Riverina town of Urana has once again played host to a diverse range of trucks, both old and new as part of its annual Vintage Machinery Rally.
Held on the third weekend in October, the event drew vehicles from as far away as Western Australia, Melbourne and the wider Riverina districts, and with Volvo the feature brand this year, the Swedish marque was well represented.
The W-Model Kenworth of Shane Burkinshaw got the seal of approval from 10-year old truck fan Matilda.

Prizes were awarded across a number of other categories making it a happy trip home for a number of participants. Planning for the 2025 event will commence in the new year.
