Guest Speaker. We are privileged to have Ian Olliver as our guest speaker at this year's event. Ian is well-know in the Canberra motoring community and is the owner of Ollies' Garage in Fyshwick. Ian's early interest in cars began at his parents' Caltex Service Station on Yass Road, Queanbeyan, as the very first business in the eastern industrial area of Queanbeyan. Ian and his two brothers immersed themselves in Variety Australia participating in Variety Bash events through rural and outback towns throughout Australia. Following Ian's semi-retirement in 2004 his vehicle collection took off in earnest, outgrowing the purpose-built home garage. So that enthusiasts could share their appreciation for classic vehicles, and to support not-for-profits, Ian and Tina Olliver decided to develop a showroom in Fyshwick, and so Ollies' Garage was born.
