Coffee, Cars & Charcoal Meat

About

Gleaming chrome, the smell of fresh coffee and the hiss of charcoal — the fourth Sunday of every month brings one of Latrobe Valley's most relaxed and rewarding gatherings to the grounds of the Sir John Monash Museum.

Coffee, Cars and Charcoal Meat is a monthly community meetup hosted at the Sir John Monash Museum in Yallourn, celebrating classic and vintage vehicles in a welcoming, informal setting. Whether you arrive in a showpiece or simply appreciate fine machinery, everyone is warmly invited.

Visitors can wander among a rotating display of beautifully preserved classic cars, grab a coffee, and enjoy charcoal-cooked food while swapping stories with fellow enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike. The museum's grand facade provides a striking backdrop that makes every visit feel like a proper occasion.

Events like this play a meaningful role in Latrobe City's community life, drawing locals and visitors together around shared passion and heritage. The Sir John Monash Museum setting adds historical depth, connecting automotive history with the region's broader story.

The event runs on the fourth Sunday of every month from 10am to 2pm in Yallourn. For the latest updates, check with the Sir John Monash Museum directly.
