Fuck ! I have just spent the last fuck knows how long uploading photo's and was lireally within a poofteenth of being finished and hit a wrong button . . . v FUCk !

Never mind - another beer and back into it . . . . . . . 

 

The Dardanup Heritage Park ( http://www.dardanupheritagepark.com.au/  ) is just up the road from my place. It is a large area with shed after shed of old gear. It has a working steam powered timber mill (complete with replica mill town ) which supplies all the tinber for the buildings. It has a working stationary motor powered dairy and shearing shed (amongst other things). It has everything from working print presses to craft sheds. The best thing is, today was an open day so all the "static" displays came to life 

Here is just a sample of the day :

 

This thing was running

GREAT PICTURES , Thanks for posting , well done .

Thanks looks great

Very good , that first shot of the blacksmith looks like he's got a bare arse under the apron,What's the idea of the ramp with the semi on it,is it demountable?Why is that central support not doing it's job?

 The Semi's are RC models Ductor. They had a whole working "wharf" with sea container gantries, a roadhouse and the works. Even had a RC Cop Car . . .

Thanks, their good ,had another look still looked real.but the ramp makes sense now the first timber support looked like really bad off form concrete.

 

Really loved this thread; much appreciated! This photo stood out to me - plenty of awesome machines here but I dunno, this one oozes POWER!

Very impressive Filthy    ... i'll have to visit that place if i'm ever in the area.
