QUAMBATOOK, nestled in the northwest of our state, proudly hosts Australia’s only permanent, purpose-built tractor pulling complex. Every year, the Australian Tractor Pull Championships draw large crowds, eager to witness the impressive display of machinery and the raw power of modified tractors pulling weights down a 100m track.
The event kicks off at 1pm with the vintage tractor pull. From 3.30pm onwards, modified tractors and trucks take to the track to showcase their power. During the evening tea break, enthusiasts can mingle with the pulling teams and enjoy aerial stunts by Paul Bennett Airshows, with live country music performed by 2023 Australian Idol contestant, Conor Bulger. The action-packed day wraps up under the lights at approximately 10pm.
Off the track, visitors can explore market stalls, enjoy kid’s sideshow entertainment, and sample from food and drink stalls. For those with a passion for diesel, a walk through the modern ‘trucking industry’ display, featuring a fleet of trucks, is a must. Those who appreciate a touch of nostalgia can delve into the history of farming with an extensive display of heritage machinery and equipment, courtesy of the Quambatook Heritage Working Machinery Association.
