Peter Champion, owner of Champion,s Brock Experience museum in Yeppoon, announced yesterday that he will close "permanently". Spokesperson Heather Smith says they are "considering our options".
"We had a 30 per cent increase in numbers from last year to this year and were looking forward to a busy Christmas, but the floods have been the straw that broke the camel's back with no access into Rockhampton airport for more than three weeks," she said. This decision has been made with great sadness, but has been unavoidable."
Rumours persist that the museum's collection will be incorporated into a major motorsport museum to be established at the Big Pineapple site in Nambour. We have had several approaches and that (Big Pineapple) was one of them, but we are considering our options," she said.
Smith said the closure of the museum would not affect their Holden Dealer Team special edition vehicles business. Their HDT vehicles are produced in the company's Smeaton Grange workshops in western Sydney and are based on the VE Holden Commodore SV6, SS and the SSV models.
Champions Brock Experience will be open to the public each Saturday from 10am until 2pm up to February 26.
