The Sunshine Coast branch of the Historical Motorcycle Club (HMCCQ) will hold its 31st annual Swap Meet at the Maleny Showgrounds on 14 June 2025.
Originally planned for March, the event was postponed due to flooding and Cyclone Alfred.
The Maleny Swap is the club’s major fundraiser, supporting not only club operations but also charities such as the QLD Cancer Council, Prostate Cancer Foundation, and Cittamani Cancer Care.
A motorcycle swap meet is a chance for enthusiasts to buy, sell, and trade motorcycle-related items—parts, bikes, gear, clothing, tools, and more.
Gates open at 6am. Catering will be provided by the Maleny Rotary Club, who benefit from the event as well. A coffee van will also be on site.
The event draws visitors from across Queensland and interstate. Many stay locally to get early access to stalls, benefiting nearby businesses in the process.
A popular feature is the club’s Bike Show, held in honour of a former young member. All bikes are owned by club members, and the winner is chosen by People’s Choice voting.
Entry is $10 for visitors and stallholders alike. Camping is free on Friday night.
If you love old motorcycles, come along! For more info, call secretary Keith Canning on 0429 000 178.
“We’d love to meet you—maybe even welcome you to the club!” said Mr Canning.
