Korumburra Working Horse and Tractor Rally 2016

The Korumburra Working Horse and Tractor Rally took place at Metro Quarry (TGS Sands) at Nyora on March 19 & 20, 2016. We were only there on the Sunday so here's a look at  most of the trucks which were displayed. It's great weekend - trucks, tractor, vintage tractor pull, working horses, whip crackers, steam engines - both stationary and traction and is held on the third weekend of March each year. This is their website - www.workinghorseandtractorrally.com.au

HCVC Ballarat Branch Clunes Truck Show 2016 - Part 1

The Ballarat Branch of the Historic Commercial Vehicle Club (www.hcvc.com.au)  put on their 6th Annual Historic Vehicle Show on March 13 2016 at the Clunes Showgrounds.  It was, as always, a great show - great ground, great atmosphere, lots of trucks and lots of cars. Here are some photos of most of the trucks which were on display, except  for the Dodges, Fords and Internationals. You can see them here


Warren Harris' AEC, with a Karrier on the back and a little green truck on the Karrier. Fabulous display.


Murray Pope's Albion - how nice is this this? Fantastically nice!

Never seen this Atkinson before - looks great here and even better in real life.

Another Commer


Commer - photo does not do it justice - this looked spectacular in real life


Diamond REO - great looking truck


Kenworth - painted in Phillips Transport of Shepparton colours


Kenworth - Shane Grima's - painted in TNT colours


This truck always looks top notch





When I am in charge of the universe - I will ban people from putting large signs like this on the front of their trucks - it ruins the photos.






Ted Beamish's Kenworth







This finishes the Kenworths


Ballarat Tilt Tray Service's Leader


Rod Calleja's B-model - always looks great


Ian Lee's Mack


B-model Mack




Fitzpatricks of Charlton Mack Superliner - because I like the truck you see it twice.



R-model Mack - another thing that will be illegal when I run the universe is people sitting in front of their trucks. Sometimes we ask people to move, but this gentleman looked too comfortable to disturb.


B-model Mack


R-model Macks, above and below



1976 1418 Mercedes Benz


I don't know what this is - I just have it labelled 'Old truck'


Osh Kosh - only one on display


Peterbilt - also the only one on display


This is a REO

As soon as John saw this, he said, 'Australian Glass Manufacturers used to have some of these' then when we went around to the other side of the truck - there was the name on the door. This is a Scammell.



Scania 'Gumboot'


Russell Marshall's Studebaker


A small Suzuki


1961 Thornycroft Mastiff - superb is the only word for it
