Korumburra Working Horse and Tractor Rally, Nyora

This Rally was held on March 20 & 21 2010 and takes place every year at TGS Sands, South Gippsland Highway at Nyora, just past the Bass Gas plant. It's a great event and has everything - there’s a truck display, then a tractor pull, heaps of old tractors – the Harry Ferguson Club have a display every year, old cars, stationary engines, draught horses ploughing the paddock, shearing exhibitions and cute baby animals. There is an old working chaff cutter and the local Historical Society Display. Plus good food and everyone's friendly. About 20 trucks were displayed - we took the Volvo and the 1976 Freighter trailer and there were two other European trucks there - which took the European Truck Count to a massive fifteen per cent of all trucks displayed! What a sight, but still we were sadly outnumbered by the non Europeans.

Here's our 1976 N1025 Volvo and 38 foot Freighter trailer.

Proving once again that Internationals are the most popular trucks on the Truck Show Circuit - here is a line-up - J.T Clark of Poowong's 1970 C1300 , John Ferguson's 1949 KB6 , John Denholm's 1962 AB 180.

Finally, competition is tough in the tractor pulls, so Ian Latham thought he'd bring along a tank to blast the competition away. It is fitted with a 671 GM.
