Historic Earth Moving Field Days

3 - 4 May 2008 - Labor Day long weekend

Media Release for 2008

“Big Boys Toys”

Come and play in our sandpit! Everyone is invited to bring their antique earthmovers, anything that will dig, push, carry or roll earth from scoops, excavators, scrapers, dozers, tip trucks to rollers including horse drawn. If you haven’t got any of the toys, come and see someone else playing with theirs!

Many exhibitors are planning to bring a variety of antique earthmoving equipment, that will be used on a number of projects around the 60 ha site which will keep the participants busily enjoying themselves with both large and small equipment, and spectators fascinated with what these old machines can do.

A tractor pull sled will be operating with prizes for different categories donated by a sponsor. A ploughing competition will be conducted with prizes also generously donated by a sponsor.

A trophy will be awarded to the best presented machine.

Steam power will also be in action with road making machinery while horse drawn equipment will also be demonstrated.

A Vintage and Veteran Truck Show will also be held, with vehicles from the Woolshed’s own collection and outside exhibitors as well.

Jondaryan Woolshed’s famous Billy tea and damper will be available along with plenty of other refreshments. Caravan and campsites can be booked through the Woolshed office.

There may also be a Light Horse competition at the Jondaryan Woolshed happening that weekend as well.
