A bit about STHARC

As the Club's name suggests, our membership is drawn from the beautiful Southern Tablelands area of New South Wales and the adjacent Australian Capital Territory. For visitors outside Australia, this map shows the general area.

One of the Club's key aims is to ensure that the enjoyment of heritage motoring is shared as a family experience. We are firmly committed to the thought that, if we do not encourage younger people to take an interest in heritage motoring, one day these marvellous machines will be found only in museums - or worse!

If all that sounds terribly serious, that's not how we do things. We like to think that we're one of the friendliest and most relaxed heritage motoring clubs around. The whole point of the exercise is to enjoy ourselves with our vehicles, after all. 

The Club's vehicles have just one thing in common - they are over 30 years old.  Apart from that, they range from trucks to motorcycles and from tractors to sports cars. You can see photos of them in the page on "Our Vehicles".

We have members in both NSW and the ACT, and are affiliated to the Council of ACT Motor Clubs and to the Council of Heritage Motor Clubs (the "Bush Council").  This enables us to keep in touch with other clubs, with events and developments of importance to our members and, most importanly,  means that our members have access to Conditional/Concessional Registration for their vehicles.    

Finally, in case you are thinking of becoming involved with heritage vehicles, please get in touch with us and discuss your thoughts, particularly if you are worried about costs.  Unless you are firmly committed to owning something exotic, you probably will be surprised to find what an inexpensive hobby heritage motoring can be! 

        If you're interested, here is our Constitution - the 'formal procedures' for the administration of our club

      And these are the Club's By-Laws, which are the "day-to-day" operating requirements.
