Hobson's Bay Men's Shed Swap Meet

The annual Hobson's Bay Men's Shed Swap Meet was on again, and living around the corner, decided to have a little peek. It’d be rude not to!

A great sunny day for it, and with the space at DK Grant Reserve, it deservedly got a great turnout in cars, motorcycles and attendance! Someone even showed up with a boat! I’m not sure if that was stretching most people’s budget for a swap meet.

Live music, BBQ on full blast, and some face painting for the kiddies (provided by Bunnings), and well organised access and parking. Great show by the boys in Altona.

The cars on show were something for everyone, spanning almost all decades of automotive history. One small but beautiful surprise was a 1936 BSA Scout. I’d almost forgotten they made cars as well. A good looking 4 cylinder engine, underneath the front covers, fitted inside in reverse direction as this was a front-wheel drive gem! Pretty impressive.
