History of Buick National Meets in Australia

The Buick Car Club of Australia was founded in Melbourne in 1967 and since then separate clubs have been established in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia with well over 600 members between the four clubs. In April 1977, the Victorian and New South Wales clubs got together to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the formation of the Buick Car Club of Australia. Further interstate trips occurred over the ensuing years, but it was not until 14 years later that a NATIONAL MEET was held where Buick owners from all over Australia were invited to gather together.

In 1991 the very first National Meet was held in Dubbo, NSW. The event was organised and hosted by the NSW club and with well over 100 cars attending, it was deemed a great success. Since that inaugural event, National Meets have been held in Bribie Island (Qld) in 1993, Ballarat (Vic) in 1995, Bathurst (NSW) in 1997, Toowoomba (Qld) in 1999, and Launceston (Tas - hosted by the Victorian Club) in 2002.

In 2004 it was Western Australia’s turn to host the National Meet. It was decided to incorporate a south west tour that would enable visiting members from states all around Australia to see as much of that area as possible. A pre National Meet tour of Kalgoorlie/Boulder (in the goldfields) was held to welcome members driving across Australia.
