a celebration of fabulous women and their old girls
Old Girls on The Road is a community group (not a club) for women who own and drive classic cars. We are all about getting our fabulous cars out on the road and driving them.
Founded at the end of 2016 the group is run by Tracey Walker. Tracey coordinates four or more ‘Girly Runs’ a year in the South East Queensland area, distributes a newsletter about once a month and administers a Facebook Page; Old Girls in The Road and a Group; Old Girls on The Road South East Queensland and Surrounds.
In 2018 Tracey produced a web series that follows herself as she and photographer Rachael Baskerville interview female classic car owners and conduct photo shoots of them and their beloved cars for the 2019 calendar. Produced by a small Brisbane based documentary team, Old Girls on The Road - The Calendar Series can be viewed on YouTube now.
Since then Tracey has produced Calendars for 2022 and 2023, and hopes to keep producing them - global viruses permitting!
