The 19th NHMA National Rally incorporating the Steaming Under the Southern Cross has moved to Kingsthorpe Park, the home of FarmFest. The event dates remain unchanged.
Kingsthorpe Park is located approximately 20km from the Toowoomba CBD and and has frontage to the Warrego Highway. The site is still conveniently located for those staying in and around the Oakey area.
The decision to relocate the event was necessary to accommodate the large number of exhibitors and their displays. The site also allows for additional camping both powered and unpowered along with improved parking for exhibitors and the general public.
Kingsthorpe Park, the home of FarmFest will be host to the “Bigger and Better” National Rally and Steaming Under the Southern Cross events from 23 to 31 August 2025.
