18 – 24 August 2012, Holbrook to Bendigo via Echuca
In the tradition of the Kidney Kar Rally, the Kruise and Shine will offer a great adventure through some of the greatest towns Australia has to offer. The Kidney Kruise and Shine is in its 2nd year in 2012 and it’s a great way to show off your vintage or classic car, raise money for a great cause and see parts of Australia you wouldn’t normally get to see.
In 2012, the Kruise and Shine will start in Holbrook on Saturday August 18, with a Show and Shine in the afternoon and the welcome dinner that night. On Sunday morning all cars will depart to their first overnight stop in Beechworth, which is recognised as Australia’s finest gold-mining town. From there participants will travel through Mallawa, Chiltern and then to the Murray River town of Yarrawonga.
After Yarrawonga, cars will travel to Echuca for a two night stay which will include another Show and Shine with the local car clubs. From there everyone will finish their trip in Bendigo with another Show and Shine and join up with the Kidney Kar Rally which is travelling across the Nullarbor from Mandurah.
Awards will be given out for the best car at each Show and Shine plus other fun great awards.
