Default Coleambally Vintage Machinery Rally

Held every two years at "Colly", this was my first time at this fantastic event. Concentrating mainly on stationary engines & Tractors there was also a good variety of trucks & cars, and other memorabilia. Mark it in your diary for the next event in 2009!
A couple of photos that may be of particular interest to MLU'ers follows. More photos at shedfull
Cheers
Howard.

Now you're talkin'! A perfect thing to shunt the disabled CMPs around the yard.

Love the red and black truck ... totally d-evil-ishly fun!

LOVE "OLD" tractors in general, the older the better ... don't ask me why because I don't know. Just love 'em ... and most old rusted farm machines and vehicle type things. Never driven any though

G'Day All,
It is on again this weekend 8th & 9th August 2009
I will be there with the F15 from Saturday Morning until Sunday Lunchtime.
If you get a chance to get away for the week end, then do it! This is a great event, very laid back and casual. See you there!

Its hard to believe that after being turned into chutney by a Maxim that this cart would have been a sight for sore eyes..........

Smile 2013

Hard to believe it has been FOUR years since I last attended this event.
But, it is on this weekend 10/08/2013 at Coleambally, not far from Griffith NSW.
I am working out that way this week, so I may call in on my way home.
Old trucks, stationery engines, Tractors (Including a twilight tractor pull), Heaps of old stuff
All set in a relaxed atmosphere, similar to that of Corowa.
I highly recommend this event to anyone!
Cheers
H
