When is a car show good for your health? When it’s Muscle on the Mountain to be held on Sunday, July 7 at the Maleny Showgrounds. This year is the ninth annual Muscle on the Mountain Show and Shine Day and once again it is all about raising awareness of men’s health and funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, and maybe a little bit about great family fun and a little bit of motoring envy. If you haven’t previously been to the event you can expect to see up to 1,000 amazing vehicles including Holden, HSV, Ford, FPV, muscle cars, street machines, hot rods, vintage and classic cars and motorcycles. The team of people behind the event know that in Australia prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and more men die of prostate cancer than women die of breast cancer. They could see the great work being done by the McGraw Foundation for breast cancer and it inspired them to do something focussed on the fellas. So nearly a decade ago a small group of carloving Maleny locals got together and started organising Muscle on the Mountain. One of the event organisers Colin Sinclair said that in the first three years Muscle on the Mountain doubled in size with more funds raised each year. To date they have raised more than $80,000 in total and are keen to see that continue to grow. The event officially kicks off at 9am and wraps up around 1.30pm with gates open at 7am for set up and a barbeque breakfast.
