This year Australian Custom Trucks ventured to Bega, in New South Wales, for the South Coast Convoy and Truck Show. Everybody say “cheese” is something we didn’t dare say in the Bega community however we got a lot of pictures of the locals on the day. Bega, and its surroundings, haven’t fared well in recent times with bush fires. The community did come together for a great day out. The event is on every two years and attracts trucks and motorcycles from around the region. We got to meet a lot of folks and got a couple of photo shoots done that will feature in upcoming issues of Australian Custom Trucks Magazine.
