THREE Gembrook institutions will combine this weekend to showcase some of the best attractions the town has to offer.
The Motorist Vintage Motor Museum, Puffing Billy Railway, and the Gembrook Market will join forces for a free, must-see event right in the heart of the town.
About 20 vintage cars from the All British Classics Car Club will take pride of place along the Puffing Billy station platform between 12.45pm and 2.30pm on 26 June, with the train arriving at 1pm and leaving at 2.45pm.
The monthly market – complete with its sustainable craft, food, and plant stalls – will once again be a hive of activity right next to the station and railway line from 9am to 2pm.
The event is sure to draw big numbers to the town centre including local residents and visitors to revitalise it as a tourist destination.
