And while your there don't forget to see the permanent display of various steam engines,  this display operates throughout the year.

The rally never fails to impress with the collection of home and visitor exhibits.   Lake Goldsmith is unique on the Australian Rally scene in that it has permanent sheds owned by club members which house their magnificent toys.

There is a large collection of

  • restored steam engines

  • traction engines

  • steam rollers

  • internal combustion engines

  • farm tractors and

  • a restored farm cottage displaying old wares.

See the working 90 tonne steam shovel and working steam powered 'power' generating display.
