Scarcely a trace remains of the 50+ aircraft that attended the Antique Aeroplane Asociation of Australia's Christmas Toy Run. The Toy Run is a fly-in which collects toys for charity distribution to kids who otherwise wouldn't get much for Christmas. Lethbridge Airpark is situated between Lethbridge and Meredith on the Geelong-Ballarat Road and, as you can see, has two well-maintained grass runways.
