The Rally
Friday 14th March 2025
The Rally will begin with Registration at the Hub, on Friday 14th, starting at 2.00pm and ending at 6.00pm. There will be a BBQ dinner, supplied by the Lions Club, starting at 7.00pm. Lanyard required.
For those attending that are not staying at the Park itself, MOTORCYCLE ONLY ACCESS will be through the small visitors carpark at the left of the boomgates, this has a bollard in the middle of it so there will be no vehicle access.
For those wanting vehicle access, you may be able to find a park out the front of the BIG4 Park or if you take the driveway prior to the entrance, this will take you into the netball/football club carpark, if this is full, follow the drive to the bend (Scout Hall) parking along this stretch under the trees should be better. Bit of a walk around the oval to Rally Central. The netball/football club may have practice that night so it will be a busy area.
Saturday 15th March 2025
Saturday morning, a breakfast supplied by the Lions Club will start at 8.00am (Lanyard required), followed by a ride around the district, stopping at the Barossa Machinery Preservation Society, Angaston Railway Precinct. Morning tea is included in entry.

collection of Ariel motorcycles and Chevrolet cars). This collection
has recently moved to these new premises,
