This West Perth Car Rally Is For Everyone

 

 It’s not a race and it’s not a classic car show.

The West Perth car rally, being held this Sunday, April 29, is just a fun afternoon for families and friends to get in their cars and explore the back roads of West Perth, says organizer Dianne Oliver.
“When I drove around, I had no idea what’s here,” said Oliver, who came to Mitchell from London two years ago.

To give all residents a chance to really explore their backyard, Oliver and the rest of the tourism and community beautification committee have created a 100 km drive through West Perth. Rally participants will need to solve over 100 clues along the way, although Oliver said the rally is not a scavenger hunt and many clues can be solved without stopping and getting out of the car.
“It’s just for fun,” she said.

The answers will be posted at Lion’s Park in Mitchell, where the tour ends. Door prizes will be awarded and refreshments will also be available.

The tour starts at Wighty’s Repairs on Highway 8. Oliver said each car will be marked as a rally participant and a different vehicle will be sent out every two to three minutes.
She estimates that the entire tour will take between two to three hours. There are two washroom breaks built into the tour as well.

Registration for the West Perth Car Rally is from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., Sunday, April 29 at Wighty’s Repairs on 122 Huron Rd. (Highway 8). The cost is $10 per vehicle.
