Heaven for automobile fans. And it's in the middle of nowhere. You have to drive here 2,5h from Cairns through the rainforest and semi-outback. But is worth it. This is the main attraction of Chillagoe, not the caves. Credit for Tom for showing us all of the cars, he started them and told short story about them. He is true passionate. Recommend

Amazing place. Tom started up 1942 ford truck. So quiet. Just purrs. Also started a number of other cars and trucks, all purred. A real credit to Tom.

I was lucky and received a private tour with Tom, who must be 80 plus. He knows all the vehicles he has and can tell a story about every one of them. Call before going to check that it is open. I spent more than 3 hours with Tom and his cars. What a character. I left with a lot of respect for this man and his collection of vehicles.

My husband and I visited a few years ago and Tom was a wonderful source of info. He had a running motor on the bench which he had rebuilt himself, a ?GTHO FALCON in temp control, a beautifully restored old truck which he preferred driving than his current car. The Mustang was my Achilles heel and I have always loved them since they were made when I was a kid. He let me sit in it and rev it, which was a thrill. Then he said give it some"

Meeting Tom and seeing his cars was honestly a once in a lifetime experience for my partner and I. Tom is a local legend and we felt privileged to be able to hear the stories behind the card and hear him start them up. They certainly don't make cars like they used to! If you're in Chillagoe, make sure you spend an hour or two here and get to know Tom and his amazing collection!

A couple of beautiful old cars, but it's a good example of how not to look after them, a little sad really. Plus no one to talk to felt very awkward wandering around.
