They rumbled through the Illawarra streets, engines grunting, horns blaring, to cheers of thousands of bystanders.
A record-breaking number of trucks and motorcycles passed through town yesterday, marking the biggest year in the I98 FM Camp Quality Convoy's eight-year history.
A total of 748 trucks and 893 motorcycles took part in the event, which is expected to raise a whopping $900,000 for Camp Quality Illawarra.
I98 FM events co-ordinator Danielle Quintero said organisers were "blown away" by the response to the event, which saw the truck auction and merchandise sales surpass fund-raising expectations.
"We annihilated last year's [total] already - in the one-hour lead truck auction we raised $693,275.20, which was more than last year's auction and fun day combined," Ms Quintero said.
"That's not including one cent from merchandise sales, trade stalls, raffle tickets or gold coin donations - so that's very exciting for us."
More than 9000 people converged on the convoy's destination point - at Albion Park's Croome Road Sporting Complex - for a family fun day, featuring stalls, activities and special performances by The Voice's Delta Goodrem, Rachael Leahcar and Ben Hazlewood.
Vendors reportedly sold out of more than 15,000 convoy T-shirts and flags.
The SCR9 Transporter was involved and the entire family appreciates the opportunity to be involved.
