This year’s Worm Weekend will take place at Benalla, just a short drive up the Hume freeway, from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st of September. Bookings are now open. Even if you don’t have a worm drive come and be part of a great weekend. Be it for only one of the days, we would love to see you.
Accommodation has been reserved at Glider City Motel Ph 03 5762 3399 and the Benalla Leisure Park 03 5762 3434, email stay@benallaleisurepark.com.au which has cabins powered sites etc. When booking at either place please state you are from the Peugeot Car Club.
For those arriving Friday there will be the usual 504s and then a choice of resturants,hotels etc for dinner.
Saturday morning there will be plenty of time to have a look at the local shops, the Botanical and Rose Gardens before a short drive to Violet Town where we will meet any folk coming from Melbourne. There is petrol available Unleaded and Premium, PLUS LPG is available not as written in previous articles. There is also a coffee shop and toilets.
We will be leaving Violet Town at approx 11.30, heading north to a rural hotel and a light lunch.
Following lunch we drive into Kelly Country through several small country towns and some great Peugeot roads. 504s of course and then dinner at the Benalla Bowls club.
Sunday at 10.00 am we will be at the Benalla Aerodrome to use the historic 1942 built Bellman hanger for a worm drive photo shoot with several historic aircraft from the Benalla Aviation Museum. Then we will head off to the Strathbogie ranges for lunch. The afternoon drive will bring us to the Shepparton Auto Museum where there is not only a new display of cars but the Musuem is now the home of the Furphy Foundry Museum plus a new cafe and antiques store. This is an easy drive to Melbourne for those who have to leave and just a short hop back to Benalla for those who can stay an extra day. Come join us, as I said for great weekend.
