    Lake Goldsmith Rally

    The Lake Goldsmith Rally is on next weekend for those of you interested in steam/tractors etc.
    If you haven't been before it's one of the largest steam events in Australia and has a fantastic turnout. If you are a member it seems that you can build a big shed on the site (38 acres), some of the sheds are basic some are out of this world.....

    I've attached a couple of pictures from 2010.

    They have a pair of ploughing engines based there (from memory one is on loan from the Melbourne museum). I saw them demonstrate steam ploughing by ploughing up the middle of the rally arena.

    The steam shovel is great to watch, a guy at the front pulling the levers and another at the back shovelling coal into the boiler .....

    But the sheds, did I mention the sheds....

    Visit and you will understand 'shed envy'

    Been going off and on for a number of years. Hope to make ot sometime next weekend. Can highly recommend it. They've done a fantastic job since it was flooded. Most of the sheds were about 5-7 foot under I think.

    It is a very interesting event. It is an experience spending the day wandering around the site. I might pop up there next weekend. It's not far.

    Yep. I'll put up some pics in a few days time (probably Tuesday night).
    There was an Ex-Army SIII there and a Ford Blitz.

    As you can see, I had more interest in the vehicles than the steam.
