SUMMARY:Celebrating Holden in Fishermans Bend
DESCRIPTION:For over 80 years\, the former Holden factory in Fishermens Bend provided a home for innovation and social connection in Fishermans Bend.    \nThe launch of Australia’s first locally made mass-production car in Fishermans Bend on 29 November 1948 by Australian Prime Minister Ben Chifley was a milestone in Australian manufacturing. The FX\, as it became known\, was an immediate success\, as was the FJ\, launched in 1953. The Holden transformed suburban Australia\, boosted national pride and quickly become a national icon.   \nJoin us to celebrate the community that contributed to Holden’s legacy in automotive design\, engineering and advanced manufacturing at Fishermans Bend.   With impressive views across the Birrarung (Yarra River) and the Bolte Bridge as the backdrop\, Shed 21 will be transformed into a festival of all things Holden.    \nAlong with food trucks\, live music and kids entertainment\, this family friendly event will feature a “Holden Shine & Show” with a significant number of classic Holdens on display.   \nThere will also be a program of short talks from ex-Holden designers and engineers throughout the day including: \n– Leo Pruneau – former Director of Holden Design\n– Phil Zmood – former Director of Holden Design (after Leo Pruneau)\n– Tony Hyde – former Executive Director of Holden Engineering\n– Ian McCleave – former Product Manager of Holden Engine Company & Executive Director of Planning\n– William Hooper (Bill) – former Holden Chassis Director\n– Warwick Bryce – former Holden Powertrain Guru\n– Dr Norm Darwin – former Holden engineer and President of Automotive Historians Australia Inc. \nWhether you are a car enthusiast\, aspiring engineer or just looking for an inspiring day of community\, this is a celebration you won’t want to miss.  \nFree – no bookings required:\n‘Celebrating Holden in Fishermans Bend’ is a free event that does not require bookings. Simply turn up and enjoy the car display and free entertainment. The only thing you’ll need money for is food and drinks—the rest is on us! \nGetting there:\nThe event will be located at Shed 21\, 206 Lorimer Street Docklands (just next to the Bolte Bridge).   There is plenty of street parking available in the surrounding streets\, it’s also great walk or bike ride along the river.   LINK TO MAP \nAccessibility:\nIf you have you accessibility requirements and require reserved parking\, please contact us via the email link at the bottom of this webpage. \nEvent Supporters:\nSpecial thanks to our supporters:  One Padel\, Development Victoria and South East Water.
