Historic Land Rover Weekend – Bridge Creek
Trip Dates: 1 – 3 May 2026
Joe Cilia and Family are inviting all owners, and those with a passion for, leaf-sprung Land Rovers, Defenders, Discovery 1s and 2s and Classic Range Rovers, to join them in a weekend of activities based on their property, Bridge Creek.
The property has good bush camping and is about 17 kilometres from Mt Victoria and 26 kilometres from Lithgow. Two toilets will be provided.
Access to the site is possible for camper trailers but NOT caravans. Wood for campfires is available, but attendees need to bring their own water supplies.
No pets please.
Details of how to get there will be provided on booking.
Fuel and Basic Supplies are available in the Blue Mts and at locations on the Gt Western Hwy to Lithgow.
For those not wishing to camp, accommodation is also available at the above locations, a short drive from the property.
Activities
People are welcome to arrive at the property any time after 10am on the Friday.
Friday will be spent settling into the campsite, viewing the vehicles, counting rivets, and peering under bonnets. These activities are expected to continue throughout the weekend!
On Saturday the tracks in and around the property will be explored.
After lunch a Land Rover quiz and a Swap Meet will be held, so bring along any bits and pieces that you want to get rid of.
Over the entire weekend there will also be an “identify the mystery parts” competition. Prizes will be awarded.
A short trip will be taken on Sunday morning, through the spectacular Kanimbla Valley. Those wishing to avoid the Sunday afternoon traffic are welcome to stay in camp and leave on Monday morning.
In the evenings, there will a campfire (subject to fire restrictions).
