LXCL:Fundraising to build a world-class transport museum in Armidale, NSW, showcasing the New England region's rich motoring, rail &amp; transport heritage

Join us for a special evening in support of the Australian Transport Museum, as we celebrate over a decade of work to secure this region&#39;s motoring heritage and officially launch our Art Union raffle. Guests will hear from special guest speaker Grant McCarroll, well known across the New England Tablelands as the face of Ford in Armidale for nearly three decades. A lifelong car enthusiast with his own collection, including the very first car he ever owned. Grant will share stories from a career spent among the vehicles, and the people, that have shaped our region. With planning approval secured and land allocated in the Armidale Airside Business Park, the museum is closer than ever to becoming a reality. This dinner marks a pivotal moment in that journey, bringing our community together to celebrate the road ahead and launch the raffle that will help take us there. Come for an evening of great company, good food, and a shared passion for preserving the machines that shaped how our region lived, worked, farmed, and travelled. Tickets available now. All proceeds support the Australian Transport Museum.

An Evening in Support of the Australian Transport Museum

The New England region is home to hundreds of extraordinary vehicles: veteran cars, horse-drawn carriages, military and agricultural machines, and rare motoring survivors found nowhere else in the world. Right now, this collection has no permanent home. Cars sit in sheds and private collections, their stories at risk of being lost, when they should be on display for the whole community to discover and enjoy. For over a decade, a dedicated group of volunteers has worked toward a single goal: giving this heritage the museum it deserves. That dream is now within reach. Planning approval has been secured, land has been allocated in the Armidale Airside Business Park, and the only thing standing between plans on paper and a museum our region can be proud of is the funding to build it. This isn&#39;t just about a building. It&#39;s about making sure our grandchildren and great-grandchildren can walk through a museum one day and see, touch, and understand the machines that shaped how Australians lived, worked, farmed, and travelled. It&#39;s about honoring the people who built, drove, and cared for these vehicles and passing that story on rather than letting it quietly disappear. Donate $250 or more and be recognised with your name permanently engraved on a paver as part of the museum grounds - a lasting mark on the history you helped preserve. Every tax-deductible donation is a vote for keeping that history alive. It&#39;s also a vote for Armidale&#39;s future, the museum is expected to bring 10,000 to 15,000 extra visitors to town each year, supporting local motels, cafes, and tourism businesses for generations to come.
