For one glorious Saturday on November 1, the usually quiet coastal town was anything but.

Locals lined the streets, kids waved from fences and proud truckies rolled through with rigs scrubbed to perfection.

“The event began about 40 years ago, and it’s been off and on since with a couple of moves here and there,” event organiser Kevin Hind says.

“Now it’s incorporated with the Central Coast Thank You Day Show. It’s a charity event where crowds raise money for Beyond Blue and New Mornings.

“The Ulverstone community is really involved, so this show means a lot to us.”

And this year’s event – was certainly one for the books.

“We had an absolutely glorious day, there was a heap of people at the showgrounds, I couldn’t even tell you how many,” Kevin laughs.

“It rained Friday and Sunday but show day on Saturday was beautiful sunshine. I was just rapt.”

Kevin couldn’t have asked for a much better turnout, with about 40 entries coming from all sides of the state, he was a happy man.

And there were absolute masterpieces rumbling into the show, from vintage rigs restored to their prime, to classic workhorses that have seen more road than most, and even brand spanking new Kenworths.

“There was a bit of everything,” Kevin says. “Old school legends and the latest gear, seeing them lined up like that is what makes the day so special.”

As a truck lover, just running the event brings Kevin immense joy.

“I have an absolute ball running this show,” he says.

“I’m a truck driver myself, so I’m passionate about this industry, and I love seeing all the trucks and community coming together.”

And the Ulverstone community clearly agrees, with locals filling the grounds with their families, food stalls and rides to delight themselves with.

There was also some healthy competition, with nine different awards handed out on the day, truckies had plenty to compete for – and be proud of.

And for those that missed the action in the small town of Ulverstone, don’t worry – there’s another chance to catch Kevin and the crew doing what they do best next time.

And a warning to all the Tassie truck lovers, if I were you, I wouldn’t miss it.
