Another first at this rally was the sight of the Kelly Traction Engine running.
It has been there for as long as I can remember and would be dragged out of storage each rally to sit in some forgotten corner out of the way. It is in a very sad state quietly waiting its turn to be re born.
Someone decided this was to much to bear and even though restoration is still a dream someone has put steam into the engine and got the old girl working.
I have climbed over this engine many times as it shares many features with the Cliff and Bunting who were the agents in Melbourne.
Was great to see it on song.
