2025 70th Anniversary Rally - Swan Hill
Wednesday 15th - Saturday 18th October 2025
RACV Veteran Car Club 70th Anniversary Annual Rally – Swan Hill 2025
Our veterans are finally heading to Swan Hill, and boy are we happy!
Next year, during 2025 we celebrate 70 years since the formation of the Veteran Car Club of Australia (Vic). In 1955 a group of like-minded veteran motorists saw the benefits of forming a club to foster the movement and so here we are today.
We have scheduled this anniversary event to enable entrants of the TAVCCA National Veteran Vehicle Rally, held in Murray Bridge, to join us as they travel home. Our event commences 5 days after the TAVCCA rally dinner, allowing plenty of time to travel to Swan Hill and relax before the rally.
The Annual rally is, as always, open to all veteran vehicles including 1&2’s and motorcycles. Swan Hill’s flat terrain makes this event suitable for all vehicle types.
As you will read below, several huge events claim all the accommodation in Swan Hill 12 months in advance, so you will need to book NOW. We have secured over 65 cabins, 60 powered sites (some with ensuite) and 64 motel style rooms/suites in three properties.

ACCOMMODATION
Swan Hill accommodation in Springtime is at a premium. Many annual events consume the available motels and tourist parks.
We have been able to find a window between events.
Be sure to check the accommodation cancellation policy before booking.
The BIG4 Swan Hill is holding cabins and sites for our entrants, but not for much longer. After this date, they will be released to the general public.
BOOK NOW so you don’t miss out!
PHONE the property directly and advise them you are attending the rally. Do not use internet/website bookings.
The rally starts with a Mayoral Welcome at 4pm Wednesday (October 15th) and concludes with the Rally Dinner at the art deco Town Hall on Saturday evening (October 18th)
