Florence Thomson Tour 2025
March 28, 2025 @ 9:00 am - March 30, 2025 @ 5:00 pm
Ladies, the Florence Thomson Tour for female drivers in classic cars is happening again.
In February 1905, Florence Thomson was the sole female entrant in the Dunlop Reliability Motor contest from Sydney to Melbourne. Mrs Thomson was one of the 16 entrants who successfully completed the five-day trial, driving a six horsepower Wolseley, over what was then nothing more than 562 miles of dirt track between the capital cities.
To celebrate the pioneering spirit and contribution of women to Australian motoring, The Florence Thomson Tour was created as an annual event in April 2017.
A link to the event is https://www.aomc.asn.au/florence-thomson-tour. The event is organised by the AOMC (Association of Motoring Clubs Inc) which our club is a member.
The event will be based in the midst of Victoria’s fabulous Gold Fields, just 115 kms from Melbourne.
The tour’s aim is to show a diverse range of vehicles and hence places are limited.
You need to apply for entry to the event by filling in the online application form on the AOMC website.
Applications close on 22th November 2024 and successful applicants will be notified on 16th December 2024.
Entry Fee is $150 per person
