Engines were roaring at Macedon Primary school when 27 muscle cars rolled onto the oval for a charity event.
Run by children’s charity Variety, the Aussie Muscle Car Run is an annual event that consists of about 30 teams that raise funds throughout the year for children with disability and illness or experiencing disadvantage.
This year’s route involved a stop at Macedon Primary School’s oval on Tuesday, October 29, where the cars – including replicas of vehicles that have raced at Bathurst – were on show for students to enjoy.
Macedon Primary principal Andrew Bloomfield said the students “loved it.”
“It was a great community event and it was able to raise money for something that’s really useful for the school community,” Mr Bloomfield said.
“The fundraising that Variety does is valuable to a lot of school children, and the 8000 dollars they’ve given us will be a great support for all our neurodiverse children, so we’re very lucky,” he said.
“This wonderful contribution will go towards creating a sensory room, designed specifically to support and enrich the experiences of our neurodiverse students … which will make a meaningful impact on our students’ daily lives.”
This year’s Aussie Muscle Car Run route was from the Adelaide Hills to Phillip Island, open to entrants with cars built from 1963–88 or that are replicas of models raced at Bathurst.
