RIVERINA VINTAGE MACHINERY CLUB RALLY AND TRACTOR PULL
The biannual Riverina Vintage Machinery Club Rally and Tractor Pull is returning to Coleambally this August!
Held over two days, it features the starting of the giant Bucyrus dragline at Coleambally’s entrance, a vehicle trek, vintage tractor pull and many displays.
The Bucyrus Erie dragline, an amazing piece of construction machinery, is located in the Lions Park at the entrance to town (on the corner of Kingfisher Avenue and Kidman Way). It truly represents the beginnings of Coleambally, as without this excavator to construct the extensive irrigation system, the town would not exist. It’s one of only four machines that were imported from the USA and used to excavate the main channels in the Murray Valley.
After finishing the Mulwala canal in the Murray Valley, it was brought to Coleambally to commence the canal work in the local area. On completion, the machine was driven to the Lions Park. It’s still in working order and comes back to life when the Riverina Vintage Machinery Club hold their biannual rally in August.
