vw scene ay? Well it was only bout 10 months ago i used to think all beetles were the same. and 10 months ago where i neva heard of anything such as a
vw car show before.
Definitely not as big as the vw euro scene here, but there is vw action happening regularly if u know where to look for it.
IE: here  :thumb
(ô_!_/ô) (ô_!_/ô)
69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears. 
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta! |

It's gonna seem small to you compared to the U.K.
But around the times of the major shows the scene appears bigger.
I guess a lot depends on where you are heading. If you are going to live in Wagga, then you'll probably be on your own.

Let's see we have a few Vw shows annualley... Dubs By The Pub at im not sure where and the VW nationals in Sydney automatically spring to mind...
and from whAT I heard, Euro Day in Newcastle, not strictly a VW show, seems to be getting conquered by the VW conquistadors led by our own Sam LOL
and If you live in Queensland or from what I have been told, Western Australia, every other car is a poptop Kombi

Two things. Definitely bring a Samba. Here, they are as rare as rocking horse droppings. Even here in Perth WA which is the most remote enclave of
western civilisation in the world there is a good little VW scene, which would welcome a new and active member. Check out http://www.vwclub.asn.au.

Sun's too strong for a Samba, what you lot trying to kill him! ... bring it over, swap you a panel van, it will be much better for you to get used to
the big yellow thing in the sky with. I'm used to the yellow thing. Wont cost you a cent mate.
And the best VW show is yet to happen Narooma....

as matt said it might seem small compared to your scene but over the last year
i would say with pleasure that it has started to grow with speed with 2 type 2
clubs taking off & having get togethers & runs plus others like central coast f3dk
as above having more runs & being a hit at euro day & not forgetting all the other
states & territories & their respective clubs starting to grow with the new found
interest in volkswagen as a whole & more & more ppl wanting to arrange a meet
or run a show of sorts or just a casual cruise only means a brighter & bigger future
in the vw scene for australia & in saying all that i believe AVD is the & should always
be the unofficail umbrella for all vw clubs in aust without bias & with information at your fingertips to see whats going on in your area with the vw
scene
this commercial was brought to you by wally & spoken by wally for the betterment of
the vw scene in australia without prejudice or bias & no payment or donation has or will
be accepted by wally or on wally's behalf (but a samba would be nice)
ah yes & below me is aust own vw mag with craig at the helm & i believe enough stories to keep him busy for a few years to come

Cheers me ode mate.
Just had a peruse over your magazine site and there seems plenty of dubs over there to chat about and some stunners in the classifieds section.
Guess you guys must be fed up with us poms popping over the purchase loads of dubs for the UK market?
There seems to be loads of companies over here doing so and visiting a few continents to do so.

Yup, Fraid so Schmoburger. They have their fingers in the States, Oz and Sarf Ifrica. Buy a load of buses, bugs scrapers and sell the whole bus or
parts salvaged.
The scene is massive over here and getting bigger all the time. One or two celebs have bought V-Dubs such as Jamie Oliver, the famous chef, Martin
Clunes from 'Men behaving Badly' and Vernon Kay, a former model now turned TV presenter. The exposure of these guys and there buses pushes the price
up.

Once I would have agreed with that, but after my recent visit to Tassie, I would have to say that the apple isle takes the cake for number of dubs per
square metre of land! I came home black and blue from Mr Cabrio punching me in the arm yelling "punch buggy" everytime we saw a bug!
