Easter weekend also saw us at our very 1st tractor pull at Quambatook.
What is tractor pulling? It's simply a motor sport to see who has the most powerful tractor for pulling a heavy weighted sled.
Back in the 1800's farmers would boast about the strength of their horses while pulling farm machinery or fully loaded wagons so neighbouring farmers would hold contests to find the strongest horses.
There were vintage tractors and super modified ones. There were young kids under 12 with modified ride on mowers doing their thing.
It was a looooong day, and sometimes it got a little boring, there's only so many times you can watch a vintage tractor pull a weighted sled a few hundred metres down a dirt track but as the day wore on and the bigger, noisier faster tractors did their thing it got better and more entertaining. The vibrating ground and the burning fuel was my kind of entertainment lol
The Easter Bunny made an appearance in a monster truck before he hopped around the countryside doing his Easter Saturday egg delivery ;)
Would we go again, hmmm, yes, but we wouldn't spend all day there, we'd go after half the events were over, it was great just long.
Until next time
