Talking about the Farm Fair........

Remember the KL Bulldog? The Historical Society took it down to the farm fair, its first outing on its new tyres. Here it is in the grand parade.
But in a case of one-upmanship, this bloke from Waikerie brought along his great big LANZ Bulldog.
Here's Bob Tilbrook and Malcolm Johncock (no relation to the Crows' Johncock I'm told) in the Morris hearse, the restoration of which has been described in a previous post. Peter Windebank wanted a ride but the only spare spot was in the coffin. However, the lid was securely screwed down. Can't remember if anybody was in there when that was done.
This is Bob (another Bob) feeling very proud of his White Super Power. He's a White fanatic and he's done a great job on this truck. He's my source of information for getting everything correct when organising Historic Rego on the odd truck.
And just look at this steam tractor. In it's past life it pulled logs out of a forest in Tasmania. Now it's part of the Ahrens collection in Sheoak Log. The only non-original item is the steam whistle which has been nicked off the locomotive in the playground in Gawler.
