The Timbertown 10th Annual Steam Festival will be held at Timbertown Heritage Theme Park over the second weekend in July, from 9.30am to 3.30pm. This event is hosted by The Timbertown Steam and Oil Engine Club Inc.
The Steam Festival will feature working displays of steam engines, tractors, vintage petrol and oil engines, vintage cars and trucks and the steam sawmill.
There will be a large number of working steam portable engines on display, including a Buffalo Pitts portable steam engine built in the USA, which will be driving a large water pump. Also on display will be a fully restored 1926 Fowler steam roller and a Clayton & Shuttleworth 4hp, circa 1912.
Don’t miss the Grand Parade at 1.00pm each day.
There will also be a Steam Talk by a qualified steam operator, who will explain the operation of steam engines in general. The public will also see the Timbertown bullocks loading the timber jinker, just like in the old days.
Other displays will include chaff cutting demonstrations, exceptional model engines built from scrap metal - see these unique engines running. The miniature railway and the Timbertown steam railway will also be in operation. Children’s’ games and rides, street theatre performances, and the ‘Mystery Object Trail’, with loads of prizes, will make this a weekend of family fun.
Anyone who is fascinated with the vintage farm machinery that our forefathers used in the past, shouldn’t miss a great day out!
