18th John's Rod and Custom Picnic
From http://www.kustoms.com.au
Saturday 30th - Sunday 31st October 2010 "New Venue"
As you probably have already heard through the grapevine, we had to look for a better and larger venue to hold the 18th Rod & Custom PICNIC, but unfortunately Melbourne has proven to be venue poor when it comes to large automotive events so we had to search further afield!
After checking out hundreds of alternatives we found a purpose built venue that we think is perfect for such an event. Lardner Park is an ideal venue that is very well equipped with beautiful landscaped parking areas and grid type road ways with easy freeway access from Melbourne. Lardner Park is situated at 155 Burnt Store Road, Lardner VIC 3820, a leisurely 55 min drive from Dandenong.
The picnic will continue to bring you the best entertainment possible with a dozen Rockabilly bands playing non stop over the 2 days while you enjoy the sight of over a thousand Hot Rods & Kustoms that will travel from all states in Australia to party with like minded enthusiasts. We will keep updating the site with more information, such as directions on getting there, accommodation, etc. so keep checking in.
 
Kustoms Of Australia is proud to present the PICNIC for your enjoyment, one of the most entertaining and successful events in the world! The PICNIC attracts more entries than any other rod event in Australia mainly because the organisers understand what rod & kustom enthusiasts expect for their enjoyment, and work tirelessly to achieve the end results that have brought so much happiness to enthusiasts over the past 17 years. The sole aim of the event is to promote the fun in rodding!
There will be heaps of activities taking place throughout Saturday and Sunday, with over a dozen of the best Rockabilly bands in the scene performing for your enjoyment, not hundreds... but kewl rides numbering in their thousands that will converge from all over Australia to register their presence, huge Model Car show, Kustom Kulture Exhibition, Lowrider bikes, Mini rods, Lifestyle trade stands, etc.
THE RULES!
At Kustoms Of Australia we championed the motto... there are NO RULES, but unfortunately circumstances change, and for our hobby to survive and thrive we have to abide with the times and continue to bring enjoyment to enthusiasts.
As our events are experiencing an enormous growth, we have to apply some basic rules to assure that our original aims aren't lost within the unprecedented demands placed upon us by enthusiasts and governing bodies.
The Picnic is a Hot Rod, Kustom, and Rockabilly festival, not just a car show, so as in the past, your car will not be judged, and we don't want you to be disappointed. Trophies will be given to cars picked by enthusiasts for being kewl and not necessarily the best detailed cars there! We invite you to help us and your other friends by keeping an eye out and discouraging people from accidentally or intentionally causing any damage.
A couple of other requests. To expedite entry please endeavour to have the correct change ready, and be patient if there is a delay as the guys helping out at the gate are enthusiasts just like you and know that things can be frustrating at times, and will be trying to get you in as quickly as possible, all just for the love of the hobby.
Put yourselves in their shoes... actually, if you can spare a couple of hours during the day to help at the gates it would help tremendously! Those that can help get to see all the cars cruising in, and get free entry, event shirt, and food and soft drinks, and are invited to the post Picnic BBQ and drinks on Melbourne cup day. NO DOGS ALLOWED
