Whether you are travelling by yourself, with friends, or are part of a car or motorcycle club, these three pitstops that celebrate vintage cars, rare collectables and machinery that has stood the test of time, are all worth a visit.

The Barn and Scotty’s Garage in Upper Flagstone houses several classic vehicles and is also packed to the rafters with rare collectable items and memorabilia you won’t find anywhere else in Australia.

If you’re feeling a little peckish, duck into The Barn, an authentic and rustic venue that showcases the best of country living and hospitality. On the menu you will find fresh scones, cakes, muffins, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, pot pies, savoury spuds, cold drinks and more. They are open every Friday from 10am to 3pm, and 8am to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday.

Transport enthusiasts of all ages will also enjoy getting up close to the many vehicles on display at the Queensland Transport Museum in Gatton. There are display cabinets brimming with models. The exhibitions inside the museum are ever-changing and each new visit takes you on a new adventure. They are open seven days a week from 9am to 4pm.

A little further down the road, the Laidley Pioneer Village and Museum features a unique collection of machinery and old wares from early pioneers, including restored wagons, horse buggies, vintage tractors from the 1920s and more. The site is home to a fully furnished 110-year-old school and authentic police station with restraints display. They are open Monday to Sunday from 9am to 3pm.
