Reflecting on Our Journey
Building a Legacy of Enthusiasm
Our Heritage
Our journey commenced with the iconic Toyota Celica, initiated by the two brothers Jerry and Jerry, who established the original Celica Nationals club in 1976. They selected Dubbo as the perfect location for our events, conveniently situated between their homes. In the early 2000s, Danae Blundell and David McNeil revitalized the group, leading to the formation of our current Toyota Nationals community.
Expanding Participation (WIP)
Each subsequent event has seen a growth in participation, showcasing our commitment to inclusivity and community building. We have welcomed diverse groups, from classic Toyota aficionados to modern hybrid enthusiasts.
Award Recognition (WIP)
Over the years, we have been proud to recognize outstanding vehicles and participants through our awards dinner. This tradition not only celebrates excellence but also motivates participants to strive for greatness in their automotive journeys.
