SWINGING back into action with its first two-day event since Covid, the Goulburn Valley Vintage Tractor and Farm Machinery Club Inc (GVVTFMC) are elated to present their 38th Annual Vintage Rally and Tractor Pull on Saturday and Sunday the 25-26 of March.
Taking place at the Wunghnu Recreation Reserve, on the Goulburn Valley Highway, there will be plenty of engines, tractors, machines and machinery to wow the whole family.
Starting up on the huge weekend will be the 800 horsepower Crossley Engine, a 12-foot high, 80-year-old generator that once powered Shepparton’s own Radio Australia.
More machinery of yesteryear will be on display as well as the artisanry of the GV Wood turners, as the Moira Miniature Rail club will have the kids giggling with delight as they chug by, enjoying a ride or two aboard their mini passenger train.
Starting at 9.30am on the Saturday morning, the more intrepid can join the 50km tractor trek, taking the time to simply kick-back and enjoy the day with like-minded enthusiasts. With a satisfying lunch provided, it is a great way to have some serious fun.
With weather permitting, the tractor jaunts will continue under lights with a twilight tractor pull while the family favourite ‘Federation Picnic Car’ display, aims to welcome over 100 vintage and classic cars on the Sunday, with all car devotees and their vehicles welcome.
Proud to be revamping a full-two days of fun and entertainment, GVVTFMC veteran and this year’s event coordinator Lloyd Healey said, “This will be a great family day and a great weekend to catch-up with likeminded people who you may not see for twelve months. It’s just a great way to have fun, see friends and enjoy the fascination of machine, machinery and vehicle.”
