at this years rally there was quite the display of howard rotavators and market garden tractors. one exhibitor came from as far away as king island in Tasmania. there was a large number of tractors. only one cat was on display. there was also a number of classic trucks, stationary engines and a working horse display too.
a good time was had by all and there was a good crowd of viewing public too.

the organisers say next year will be a big one as it is the Biloela centenary.

where is Biloela? its a small town in the central Qld coalfields, 569km nnw of Brisbane and 120km inland from Gladstone.

Hi, Folks.
If you're thinking about going to Biloela next year for their centenary and you've never been before at time of the year - - - - go prepared for COLD mornings. Bit it'z usually a good show.

Just my 0.02.

it wasnt to bad this year. i was getting around in shorts. i did have a flannelette shirt on though but i have been there a few yrs back at daybreak and it was bloody freezing.

we stayed at the hotel settlers in a 2 bedroom cabin which was nice at 130 bucks a night. there is a woolworths supermarket along with a group of speciality stores these are under 10 minutes from the rally grounds.
to get to the rally grounds as a exhibitor you turn right onto the Burnett highway heading towards Banana.

You need to get your eyes checked trainzkid . I saw two crawlers on display . A Cat 22 and a D2 with a towed scoop . There was also a 1937 i believe Cat grader.
And if you know where to look a Cat 30.
Lance Jones and others were there waving the flag for Chapter 18 .
Lance had his 4WD Holder tractor there . .

i saw the d2 and the oliver and i spoke to lance about his holder didnt even know who he was. i didnt get to have that much of a look around as i had 2 stationary engines to keep a eye on. we had them running all day so someone had to be there. and yes there is a few rusty relics hiding in the weeds.
