Last weekend, the sleepy seaside town of Yamba transformed into a buzzing hub of horsepower and nostalgia as the annual Yamba Rod Run took over the streets. Hosted by the Borderline Street Rodders, the event celebrated its 30th year, attracting car enthusiasts from across the East Coast. Ford Park became the epicenter for a spectacular showcase of classic and custom hot rods, with vintage rides and modern muscle cars lining the streets, offering a dazzling display of chrome and craft.

Participants and spectators alike enjoyed getting up close to these rolling works of art, with classic vehicles boasting gleaming paint jobs, roaring V8 engines, and pristine interiors. Enthusiasts swapped stories and restoration tips, making it a truly immersive experience. The excitement continued with a convoy of cars cruising to the Blue Dolphin Holiday Resort, where the fun extended into the afternoon with even more spectacular cars and a relaxed vibe that embodied the spirit of the event.

The Yamba Rod Run is not just a display of automotive passion; it's a community gathering, with funds raised supporting local charities. This year’s event was a resounding success, with a variety of activities, raffles, and auctions adding to the excitement, making it an unforgettable weekend for all involved.

The event wrapped up on Sunday, but its impact on Yamba will linger, as the Rod Run continues to be one of the town’s most anticipated annual events. If you missed this year, mark your calendars for next November!
