Held at Bunnings Joondalup in Western Australia, the meet was packed with Holdens, Ford Falcons, Toranas, Monaros, panel vans, American muscle cars and custom builds.

If you love classic cars, Australian motorsport and motoring history, the Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum in Western Australia is well worth a visit.

Located around 90 minutes south of Perth, the museum features an impressive collection of genuine race cars, Holden and Ford classics, American muscle cars, vintage motorcycles and motoring memorabilia.

Aussie Garage headed south to take a closer look.

Genuine Holden Race Cars

Some of the biggest highlights are the museum’s genuine Australian race cars.

Among them is a Holden Torana A9X race car, one of the most iconic models from Australia’s touring car era.

There’s also the tough Craven Mild HJ Monaro race car and an incredible Bond and Brock ex-race Torana, connecting the collection with two legendary names in Australian motorsport – Colin Bond and Peter Brock.

For Holden and motorsport fans, these cars alone make the museum worth exploring.

Classic Holden, Ford and Chevrolet

The collection goes well beyond race cars.

You’ll find Australian classics including an HK Monaro GTS and XR Falcon GT, along with classic Ford Escorts and plenty of other interesting vehicles.

American muscle is also represented by a wild supercharged 1969 Chevrolet Corvette.

Another unusual piece of WA motoring history is the West Australian Police Tango 3 drag car.

More Than 100 Years of Motoring History

One of the most interesting things about the Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum is the variety.

The collection stretches from a remarkable 1914 Talbot through to much more recent Australian-built cars such as the Mitsubishi 380.

There are also classic trucks and vintage motorcycles, giving visitors plenty to see beyond the traditional Holden and Ford favourites.

Motoring Memorabilia and Workshop Displays

It’s not just about the cars.

Throughout the museum you’ll discover vintage automotive signs, model cars, motoring memorabilia and historic workshop displays.

These smaller exhibits help tell the story of how Australian motoring, workshops and automotive culture have changed over the decades.

A Great Car Museum Near Perth

At around 90 minutes south of Perth, the Bunbury Geographe Motor Museum makes an excellent destination for a day trip or as part of a visit to Western Australia’s South West.

Whether you’re into Holden Toranas, Monaros, Falcon GTs, classic Fords, American muscle, motorcycles or Australian motorsport history, there’s plenty here to explore.

For us, the genuine race cars are some of the biggest highlights – particularly the A9X Torana, Craven Mild Monaro and Bond and Brock Torana.

If you’re a motoring enthusiast heading through Bunbury, put this one on the list.

The aggressive stance, detailed engine bay, and clean presentation made it one of the highlights inside the hall. It perfectly represented modern Aussie street machining — classic looks mixed with serious horsepower.

Tough 600HP XR Falcon Build

With immaculate bodywork, a clean engine bay, and a killer stance, this Falcon showed exactly why classic Aussie Fords remain so popular.

Jet Black HK Monaro GTS Monster
