Mark Bowman visited the SAMC's show in September of last year but encountered camera problems. While he enjoyed himself, he was only able to take these four photos! He writes:
The emphasis was on stationary engines and tractors however there were about a dozen or so trucks (Ed - so despite the camera problems, Mark still managed to get 33% of the trucks attending!). There was also a contingent of army vehicles and motor bikes. There were a few stalls selling spares and tools and even one selling handbags. I assume that was for the husbands who had dragged their wives to yet another "old machine meet". You had to be careful crossing the roads as a couple of huge steam tractors were hairing around the tracks at nearly 4 kmh! Next time I'm putting the right memory card in the camera!
Above: a very tidy 1946 Chev of around the 1500cwt size. Below: I'm sure I saw this AS110 (?) at Dubbo in July. Ah, just reminded myself that I haven't shared my Dubbo pics...oh dear.
