Hi, Folks.

The Wheatland Museum in Warracknabeal, Victoria, Australia, is holding its annual Easter Show this coming weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 19th and 20th of April at the Wheatlands Museum just off the Henty Highway on the South edge of the town. The Henty Highway is the one that leads to Horsham, for those who don't know the area.

The theme for show is - - - WAIT for it - Caterpillar machinery. I wonder if the caterpillar Century year had anything to do with that?

The museum's internal display has been updated to include several vintage Cat Machines and some billboards detailing some of the history of the company.

There also some vintage Caterpillar machines already here and more to come.

More information can be found on their web site but the show admission prices have not yet been updated on the site after last Monday's museum member's meeting.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Gday Deas can you please gather some happy snaps of the Kitty Cats at the show. Those of us that can’t make it would love to share the joy of seeing some yellow iron on display. Colin (WFamer) might be able to get some pics too if he gets time. I wonder if Daryl and Rob Marshall will have a couple of toys there as well. Have a good weekend.

There was a great turnout of yellow equipment for the weekend, thank you to everyone for making the effort to transport machines big and small for the show. And also a big thank you to Glen for all the work he puts in each and every time to have the ACMOC tent up and out there on full display.

Just a small snapshot of the line up, I don't seem to be able to load more than one picture at a time, and even then it's hit and miss if it loads or not. Perhaps it's affected by my poor internet connection too?

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
