CAR enthusiasts across Mansfield Shire and surrounds are gearing up for the annual Jamieson High Country Rod Muster which will run from Friday October 11 to Sunday 13.

On Friday they will cruise down to Jamieson and there will be dinner at the Court House Hotel from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

On Saturday the Show n Shine will be run from 11am to 3pm and Wokka’s cruise where cars cruise along the main street of Jamieson will run from 4pm to 6pm.

On Sunday lunch and presentations will be at the Jamieson Brewery from 11am to 4pm and then a wind down dinner bonfire at the Jamieson Caravan Park from 5:30pm.

Since 2019 Evlyn Wilson has organised the annual event which lines the streets of Jamieson with classic cars.

In 2023 she organised the Chrome in the Goldfields event where they donated $9000 to the township of Creswick.

“Over the years, the High Country Rodders have raised a sizeable amount of money for the township of Jamieson,” she said.

“All donations to the town have been given in form of items rather than cash, for example new tables and chairs in the town hall and a new bus stop.

“One of our most favourite contributions was a custom-made BBQ trailer to the CFA, this has been used when out at fires, for big and small events in town to cook breakfast for the entrants of High Country Muster each year.”

Evelyn said over 65 classic cars have been pre-entered.

“On Saturday there will be a variety of trade stalls and food vendors including Black Cherry Clothing, The Crafty Mug, Jamieson community, the High-Country Rodders Hub, CFA BBQ, dutch pancakes, twist potato’s, donuts, ice cream van, indian food, the courthouse hotel, general store and the Jamieson Cafe,’ she said.

“We would love to have between 500 to 750 people in attendance at our Show N Shine on October 12.”
