There's a couple of real high lights in this event; a tour of the Golden North factory at Laura where they make the famous Honey Ice Cream, and the world renowned Booleroo Steam & Traction Rally.

Well ... after some careful planning and preparation ... those around me have planned my weekend so as to not include this gig. :(

... why am I surprised ... ::) :( :-/

Be it firearms or V8 engines, the question is not "why should you have them?"
, but "who are you to demand that I justify them?"

Not good Eddy....I think you will have to re-structure your planning department personel.

We will try to have fun for you. Cheers

When I saw Golden North and Laura mentioned I started to get a bit excited....till I realised it was on the other side!

have to re-structure your planning department personnel.

yes ... they watch me carefully, study the calender, and as soon as they see something come up that I may be remotely interested in ... BAM!! ... some other obscure event will suddenly appear ... back dated of course ... "We told you about that yonks ago"

yet still no-one can tell me the periodic length of one yonk


We will try to have fun for you.

yeah well I should hope so too ...

Another good roll-up with over 30 commercial vehicles and around 65 people. Saturday we traveled to Laura, home of the famous Golden North premium ice cream made in some 35 flavours and sold to the catering trade as well as to the public. Here's a few pic's.

Saw dust from the local timber mill to feed the 100 year old boiler.

An excellent lunch provided at the sports club rooms nearby.

Some nice steam gear, the traction engines dragging a scoop and road plow between them during the day.

The club owns a large collection of stationary engines. They also had a "New Way" engine record attempt and got 27 together, some coming from inter state. First pic is New Way.
