Just a short drive from Longreach (27kms) is Ilfracombe where you can find the Lynn Cameron Machinery Mile with wide range of equipment from standing engines to earthmoving machinery. A wonderful display of machinery, some of it very rare and almost all collected within 100 miles of the town, can be seen. Visitors can expect to see many forms of old machinery, including a 1917 Ruston Proctor Tractor (only two more of this model left in the world), Steam Devil, a big Excavator driven by three horse powered steam engine.

I am not an expert on cars, but I think it is a Ford Model T. The poor car deserves special mention for what they put it through! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T

Yes, a Model T Ford! ... "... Arriving in Longreach in August 1919, they acquired a Model T Ford, as a transport for the survey, and were accompanied by a mechanic, George Gorham.[26][29] Leaving Longreach on 18 August 1919, the group traveled through Winton, Kynuna and McKinlay, reaching the town of Cloncurry on 20 August 1919.[22] They were the first people to travel across the Gulf of Carpentaria, using an automobile. ... ...

beachcomber australia A hidden feature! I used to be able to do this with a different function years ago.... Is that what I assume is a termite mound in the background?
