WHAT IS THE NATIONAL PENNY FARTHING CHAMPIONSHIP?
Penny Farthing enthusiasts converge on the Tasmanian town of Evandale from throughout Australia and overseas to vie for a series of Penny Farthing races, held on a triangular circuit in the centre of Evandale Village. Market stalls and a variety of entertainments are situated in the streets and parks surrounding the race circuit, creating the ambience of a colonial country fair.
The National Penny Farthing Championship is organised by the Evandale Village Fair Inc., in conjunction with the Velocipede Society of Tasmania Inc.
