We will be there, if your request for fair weather is met! Not going through that again, had big problems last year.
Will have a couple of tractors there at this stage.

Let's hope it goes well for them this time!

Hello all.
Yep. I'll be there this year. I joined the local club last week so all systems are go for my first outing.
I had a look in the shed just yesterday to see what can go over seeing the theme is Australian made and I also looked at the size of the trailer and thought what am I taking to this shindig. And then I thought maybe a couple of trips over to Allora is needed
I still don't know what I'll take over but I reckon Huey, Dewey and Louie (the Barlow's) are good contenders for a starting position and I think the little 2B Buzacott has a ticket in the trailer with a farm pumper or two. But that could all change as quick as lightning pending what I find and get going in the next week or so..
I will take some small engines over like the Mark 10 Villiers, Marino and a Howard. Hopefully the Reading chaff cutter will also get there.
The big Southern Cross's will stay at the farm. Just too hard to load at the moment.
Cheers Scott
PS: who is camping over?

Hello John.
My theory is to take as many engines over as I possibly can. Someone there might feel sorry for me and fix them.

Cheers then
Scott

Hi All, I will be going down to Allora on Friday morning ( to get a good spot under the stables somewhere) I am hoping to be taking a new project that has never been rallied, it still needs a lot of little stuff to be done but its a runner- all i will say is its a rare early (pre1920),American,4hp open crank horizontal and starts with "S"-so look out for that one!!!
Not sure what other animal will share the trailer maybe the 4 hp Famous? we shall see ... ,I hope the weather is kind as they have had a rough trot the last few years !! hope to catch up with a few of yas there
Cheers Justin

I will be there, probably only as a spectator, but I might bring something along to sell at the swap meet.  The good weather has been booked for this year's event.  If anything, we will be whining about the heat which makes a nice change from the deluges of the last 3 years.  If you see a display of number plates somewhere, that'll most likely be me.
Collector and fan of ye olde crappe. I collect old number plates.  Have you got any?  Send me a PM if you do.  :-)  I might even trade them for other old junk.

Hello all.
It rained here all day yesterday but I think it's fining up for the week-end. There's lots of blue sky this morning.
The rain has done the place a world of good making the grass greener and has settled the dust. Hopefully it's only a possibility of showers in the afternoons in the next couple of days. It's definitely cooler.

Cheers Scott

Was hoping to camp there, but will be an early start in the morning for me.
Keep an eye open for Lindi the Chamberlain.
