NATIONAL RALLY UPDATE – CANCELLATION OF EVENT
Sadly, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the 15th National Hillman Rally. A special committee meeting was held recently to discuss the issue and it was decided unanimously that in the best interest of our entrants to cancel our event due to the uncertainty relating to COVID19 restrictions and the concerns about state borders closing at short notice.
Thank you to everyone who registered their attendance for the rally in Wagga Wagga. We were very excited to showcase the region and to share our love of our vehicles as well as to meet up with old friends. This year we had entrants from every state of Australia!
Events such as this can’t happen without enthusiastic and committed people, so we thank you very much for your support and hope to see you all at the 16th National Hillman Rally, where we can look forward to whatever wonderful venue our Victorian colleagues invite us to visit.
Stay safe and healthy!

15th National Hillman Rally
21st - 25th May 2021
The Hillman Owners Club of Australia Inc warmly invites you to join us for the National Rally at Wagga Wagga in the Riverina of NSW, where paths cross and people meet. It is situated on the Murrumbidgee River and is the state’s largest inland city – just 451 km from Melbourne, 461 km from Sydney and 918 km from Adelaide! The Wiradjuri people traditionally travelled vast distances to meet in Wagga Wagga, so it’s fitting that we continue to utilise this beautiful area – which means ‘A Place Of Many Crows’ as our meeting place.
