The Koroit Truck Show celebrated 10 years this year, and it is showing no signs of slowing down.

Organisers say there were record numbers of trucks this year and with truckies coming all the way from Queensland and South Australia to be a part of the event.

As usual the money goes into the community and towards worthy causes. This year money raised went towards Need for Feed, which supplies hay for farmers struggling in the drought.

After a sweltering few days in Melbourne the weekend in Koroit provided a great relief with blue skies and a reasonable temperature to walk around and check out the great trucks, bikes and cars on display.

This year, the coveted Rig of the Show prize went to Derham Transport, from Little River earning them a cool $3,500 with their 1984 Kenworth K100.

Scott Wilson Transport kept with tradition winning the tug-o-war.

We got a few pics of some of the action and the people at the show.

Congratulations to all involved for producing such a great event…again!
