> On 23rd and 24th of October, the Stringy Bark festival was on in Knox at 
> the Rowville Community Centre. This a small regional show with animals, 
> rides, bazaar/fete stalls, food stalls and loads of engines. Saturday 
> was damp (good thing I did not go - I was in Ballarat) but on the day of 
> my attendance, Sunday, the sun was out and we had a great day for it. 
> Emerald & District Vintage Machinery Group and MSTEC put on displays of 
> stationary engine and steam engines. The food, while good and in great 
> variety was disappointing in that they were charging closed-venue 
> prices. $3.50 for a can of drink! For the most part the show was 
> excellent and a nice relaxed rally for the respective clubs where a 
> little fun could be had. I got the Ottawa running (finally) with help 
> from club mates (thanks!). The weekend was marred when one of our older 
> members was taken sick and went to hospital. The show organisers fell 
> over themselves to be helpful.
