National Historical Machinery Association Rally at Fairbridge

No it's not fishing related but if you haven't got anything planned this weekend this is worth a look. Only an hour south of Perth so not too far. I spent the day there today with the wife's rellys who have driven over from Victoria for the three day rally. Even though I consider myself mechanically challenged I thoroughly enjoyed it. There is heaps of historical stuff to look at (not just engines and tractors) and well catered for. Recommend it. Here is some more info but there is so much more there on show.

Did you know of it before I put the post up? I didn't see any local advertising here in Perth.

Took lotsa pictures and am willing to put some more up if desired!
The variety of classic/rare tractors and other farm machinery was amazing!
Handy for Big boat beach launching as the 2ton Caterpillar tractors were used to pull catalina'flying boats on shore here in the Matilda Bay-Swan river during the war.
These "Beasts" are just awsome when pulling hard!
