Cruises

On the last Sunday in September each year more than 1,500 historic vehicles line up at the start to play their part in perpetuating the legend of the Bay to Birdwood. The next Bay to Birdwood event will be the “Classic" staged on Sunday 29 September 2013. The 2013 Classic will be for vehicles manufactured between 1 January 1956 and 31 December 1977. Breakfast With The Cars (at West Beach) has become a tradition and this is the spectators' opportunity to mix 'n mingle with entrants and their vehicles. Enjoy a range of breakfasts provided by local service organisations washed down with jazz and line the start ahead of the flag off at 9am. It takes approximately 1.5 hours for all entrant vehicles to depart on the route to Birdwood - give them a send off they won't forget! Vehicles head down West Beach Road turning right into Tapleys Hill Road then left into Anzac Highway. Their journey through metropolitan Adelaide en route to the National Motor Museum in Birdwood enables the spectators who line the 72km route to see Australia's greatest motoring show on wheels pass right in front of them - 2 hours of motoring history! There's something for everyone at the Finish. The gates open at the National Motor Museum at 10am with the first entrant vehicles usually arriving approximately 10:30am just as the main stage entertainment program gets under way. Admission to the Finish includes entry into the National Motor Museum so take a walk through motoring history and see the latest Exhibition. Wander amongst the Concours d'elegance vehicles during the judging, pack a picnic basket, dress in the era of the event and you could be selected by roving judges as finalist in the Fashions in The Field. There is also a wide choice of food stalls as well as activities just for the kids. Please see website for entry forms.
