[SEL] Rusty Iron Rally in Oz

[Patrick M Livingstone]

Another great rally weekend in Oz. Some nice engines, a great location & a
bunch of fantastic people and you have a pretty good weekend. I am exhausted
but happy ;)
I took well over 200 pictures & whn I get some I will put them up on my
site. The two highlight engines for me were the Columbus (which traveled
1600km each way to be at the rally) & the big Tangye.
Now it is less than two weeks until the next rally :)

Hi all
I decided to go to the Rusty Iron Rally at Macksville as a spectator for the

day today, Saturday. It is only a 2 hour drive from my place and not a bad 
drive.
A lot less engines than last year but still a good show.
The first day of Spring came on strong with many sunburnt heads for the 
first time this year.
List members Patrick Livingston, Peter Woodmore, Cam Grundy & myself were in

attendance, don't think I missed anyone??? plus I caught up with many 
collectors that I have met over the years.

John Culp, have a look at the 75lb hammer and what is did to Patrick's face 
trying to lift it. The junk dealer who had if for sale ($500 so was it 
really for sale?) said it was a blank un-finished hammer and that the fitted

handle would never have held the weight. A rough forging to be finished off 
at a later date..

I placed some photos for all to see, including some for the FATG's

Tomorrow is Father's day here in Oz and this father is spending all day 
working on his new vertical 2hp R&V, Happy Father's Day to all.
