Saw the "shorts" of that last week, we already have it pencilled in,...I hope it's as good as it seems.

The 9G tractor club. I built 2 of the originals for their inaugural west - east trip. Good to see them on the road.

Damm! I went to a meeting which ran late and missed it. Oh well, next time.

To be honest, I was not that impressed with this, the first episode.
However, I'm eagerly awaiting the second episode, which I believe will be focussed on Winton, Qld.

Missed the start.
That 9G that has "The Taylors" on the windscreen is a local tractor,they hail from Darkan,the farm is about half way between Williams and Darkan.They holiday in that setup every year.

I wondered about that, when I watched it, Ron.

Cheers, Mick.

Added pic above. ABC TV saw the pic on the 'net and contacted me to ask if they could use it. I didn't own it, it was published in a Brazilian tourism magazine in 1970 or 1971. Telstra* claim copyright on all photos showing equipment so I guess the ABC got their approval.

(* OTC was merged with Telecom in 1993 to become Telstra.)
