Allora on Australia Day week-end?

[Scott]

Hello all.
Who's going to Allora on the Darling Downs for this Australia Day week-end?
If your going are you going to display anything?

My better half and myself will be going but I won't be displaying anything this year.
The reason been I just have not got anything I'm happy to display yet. And I have not joined a club yet which makes it harder as well.

I think I'm correct in saying there is also a show at Guyra at the same time. Is that correct?

Cheers then
Scott

Hi Scott ,Ian {rustyengines } stopped the night here on his way down to Allora ..
 If your able to , he is well worth tracking down and having a chinwag with .
 The year before last , we had about 6 TOMM forum members ,meet up out at Biloela rally .

Hi Scott ,Ian {rustyengines } stopped the night here on his way down to Allora ...

I will try and track him down.
Southern Cross is one of the themes this year but I didn't think he'd come all this way.
It would be a good chance to personally thank him for all the help I've received off him this last 12 months or so.

Cheers then
Scott

Yes Scott Ianoz and I had a chinwag started about 5.30 pm did not finish till 12.30am and it would be still going if I did not have to hit the road again the next day, no wait a minute it was the next day already
It was good to catch up with someone on the forum

Enjoy the day fellas.  I won't be going this year even though I've just moved to Warwick down the road.  I'm heading overseas for a few weeks starting Thursday.

I have been once before and enjoyed the Allora weekend.  Hope to make it next year.  Pity I missed out on the Southern Cross themed event - I could have brought my EFE and old Toowoomba Foundry horse drawn plough with me.

Hey M Type, neat engine.  What kind of power does it produce?  Would it be feasible to make one big enough to spin a forge blower, with the forge as heat source??

hi ian i think you will be rite i have been looking online and i work with a bloke that lives out that way and it seams they havent been getting the rain up there that we have been getting down here in gatton.

hi andrew mine wouldnt but i think if you played around you could you wouls have to have a blower thay was really easy to turn.

Cam, Im was coming down with the baler but I am having second thoughts due to the 7hrs each way with the baler and the united in the back of the ute and getting the camping trailer wet and looks like a good chance of a bit of rain every day. Not good having to pack up wet and hope it doesnt get mould before we can open it and air it out again.
We are talking about coming for the weekend as visitors and looking around the area thurs fri and going to the rally Sat.
I will give you a ring and let you know when we are in the area.
